Yikes...... I thought upgrading a boat would be fun....

It may actually run by thanksgiving

 

[Hammer]

Motor is in, exhaust is mocked up. New oil cooler finally made it. Hoses and fittings showed up. Just waiting on the sea strainer. 90% of the parts are on hand to wrap it up. Then onto interior.

 

[Hammer]

6 years later and we might be running in the boat next week. Then off to ARKO for interior. Then lake test/tune! I’ve spent my budget 3 or 4 different times on other responsibilities. LOL

 

[Hammer]

Might fire up today… fingers crossed

[UltraLucky]

Good to see it nearing completion.

 

[Hammer]

At ARKO FOR interior…. Dane at D1 Performance took care of me. Your dad would be proud. I’m glad you are finishing what he and i started.

Be in the water in January I’d imagine.

 

[BUDMAN]

I think my switch panel is going to work out nice. Trim/Start/Fuel/Lights and maybe stereo? I forgot what else. Lol

Thanks. I wanted to clean up the dash. I thought an armrest/door panel like a car would be cool and different.

 

[cofooter]

Looks awesome, my dream boat!

 

[BUDMAN]

Very cool.

Who built the seats? That looks like a Shiada bucket

ARKO/Concept….

I wanted to model it after a schiada bucket.
Hatch is fitted.

 

[Melloyellovector]

Best decision I’ve made so far as far as shops go. Text and a few phone calls to clarify a few things. I’m glad you told me to quit being a baby snd drop it off, not I just gotta break mellow yellow off

 

[Hammer]

Making progress!

What’s the rib or extension in the middle of the seat for? Looking good!

It’s how they have to make the removable cushion. Not sure on the exact details on why. I know you won’t see it when it’s done.

And the hatch in the floor?

 

[Hammer]

And the hatch in the floor?

The boat has a turn fin. Access hatch to the fin. Several people have told me it’s the best turning vector they have driven.

 

[Hammer]

These guys are moving…..

Vectors and schiadas Jodi has a weak spot for. He loves old school.

 

[Hammer]

Progress from Group One Marine (ARKO/Conquest), the interior will be done tomorrow then back to Dane at D1Performance to finish up the accessory wiring and the switch panel at the dash.

I can’t say enough about Jodi and the people at ARKO. They were in constant communication and did a great job. I was worried the buckets would look “cookie cutter” , they are unique to the boat and look like a newer design with subtle old school ascents in the shaping of them.

New bulkhead
New carpet
All new interior(grey w/black stitching)
Regelled the rear seat base bench. Black in the inside. Filled holes as well.
Regelled the hatch, gelled the underside black
Black paneling around the engine bay. I thought this was a great touch to “hide” everything. That was their idea

Picked up an XR too.

Almost to the finish line!

 

[Cole Trickle]

interior looks awesome!

I'm really happy with it. I was a little nervous as I didn't want the typical day cruiser shaping in the bench and buckets. It may have been more than other shops, however the customer service and quality of work made it entirely worth it. They earned a lifetime customer.

I can't wait to see it in person next week.

 

[BUDMAN]

WOW! Looking great mike. Cant wait to see this thing ripping down the lake.

 

[BUDMAN]

Any other pics of the engine bay & hatch?

No, unfortunately that’s all They sent me. Supposedly going to get a few more pics between tomorrow and Saturday.

Damn that looks nice, you gotta be excited about getting close to the finish line on this deal.

Thank you. I have always loved the hockey sticks on the Vectors. I prefer the double hockey sticks actually. No way I was getting rid of them.

Looks like you might make it!

LOL. We aren't done yet... I'm not holding my breath.

Thank you all. This thread isn't done yet. I need a new trailer. I was going to have one built, until my BIL called and said we can build it.

Congrats mike. Turned out awesome. But please, please, please change out those rear tie down straps
