You’re on the right track. The stucco isn’t hard, just takes a little practice. Since you’re already having to patch stucco I’d avoid the retrofit style window and just use standard frame.
I install windows and patch stucco back a lot. When I was starting out and didn’t have much stucco...
Yes sir, thanks matt! I put them on two weeks ago they look way better than the old red stuff. Eventually I’ll do new gauges too, not sure if I like silver carbon or black carbon backgrounds for this boat.
Ditched the faded red transom hardware as well and went with polished/clear PC
Late last season I picked up my first cat, after badly wanting to get away from V bottoms. Bought in a crap market because I really wanted a 25+ cat. Options were limited last year, bought a decent boat knowing I was going to do a new interior, deck hardware and misc small upgrades. Ran the boat...

I’ll start a thread for it, that way I’m not hijacking yours, did you get your interior cleaned up?

Sorry to hear about your hard times, I’ve been having some of those myself. Sold the most carefree boat I’ll probably ever own, bought a 26icc that I was wanting so badly, 4th trip grenaded the entire drive, all that was left was the lower case. Among that it has some sloppy rigging as well and...
I put eibach stage 2 on my 2 seat xrs and it helps a ton but stage 3 would better fit my driving style.
But stage 2 is a HUGE step from stop springs. I clapped out 3 sets of new stock springs before I bought eibachs.
In my opinion you can get it close enough with eibachs and tuning via...
