[Reel Screwd]

Hi Guys here is the boat i picked up a few months ago, its a Wellcraft Coastal 2800 with twin 350's just wanted to post some pics of the work im doing to it

Here is what she looked like the day i brought it home

and here is the new.. i didnt get to fancy as i said i never sewed before

I got the rigger board redone, riggers mounted and two 36" tracks mounted for my divers

few more holders to put on and mount the lights

I removed all the stripes did a little gelcoat repair here and there and ran over the hull with presta cutting creme and this stuff worked great! as you can see the difference where i stopped to take the pic. the green is just some masking tape i threw on to keep the blue bottom paint out of my buffing pad

Thanks guys it has been a ton of work so far, cleaning the cabin alone took forever it was pretty dirty but it came out great! plus all the other little things that eat up time like oil changes, fuel filters, impellers and just going over everything to make sure it is working properly. I wanted to start fresh as its a new to me boat and i didnt have any background on it whats so ever. there is still a few things id like to do interior wise like some of the wood etc but some of it may have to wait untill fall or next spring i dont want to miss out on too much fishing for a little cosmetic repair

Well i forgot to get some pics before we launched it but here she is in the water, we didn't set any lines just went out for a little cruise and she seems to be running great so we put it in the slip and going to get some baits washed over the weekend

Im looking at the leds from Rigid Industries.. anyone use these? they are pricey i checked out a display that wolfs marine has set up and they look like awesome lights they just make so many different ones i am not sure which ones to go with

the rigid leds are are great lights.i have a set on my radar arch to light up the front and 3 on the back to light up off to the sides of the boat and the deck.they look good and are built like a tank.i have friends that run them on offroad trucks and they will take just about any abuse you can put them through short of smashing them with a hammer:thumb:built in the usa too:thumb:
