Very cool Scott. I would have it broken with in the second outing myself. None the less nice touch.

Have you tried it in the dark yet? How much light does it cast on the helm and fore deck?

I have not tried it yet - I will turn the lights out in the shop tomorrow and see what it does - I was a bit worried about that too. I wanted to mount it in the rear of the boat - just didnt have the clearance needed to do it.

I turned it on in the dark garage - I did not notice any glare at the helm area sitting or standing. I guess the true test will be when its in the water at night. I was pleasantly surprised at the results of my indoor test.

There is something to be said about the look of a brand new refitted nineteen.
The gel looks prime
Even though I did opted for black,the red rub rail is very distinctive and a reflection of the style of the time.
The telescopic white beacon is a very nice touch.
I may have located it to the Starboard stern gunwale.

Good work Scott.

Thanks Serge, The stern gunwale is where I wanted it. The unit under the dash (the part you cant see) is too long to fit there. We needed the height of the console to make it work.

Hi Scott, New guy here with a burning question. Gorgeous work and fantastic post on your resto.

Could be a pretty dumb question but hope to get some knowledge by asking it.

Twin 75 HP motors, WHY? Am I wrong to assume that just a single 150 HP would be lighter, more economical on fuel and push the boat just as well? From my point of view, and I don't think it is right, but the only real advantage I see to twin motors is if one fails.

They do look pretty sharp but I am thinking of all the duplicate stuff that goes with having two and it sure seems like an expensive alternative to a newbe. I suppose you could spin around in circles real well but what other advantages are there by having a twin set up?

Thanks for a good lesson.

Gary

Well I re-powered with a single. Just today I had motor trouble while traveling down the Hudson river. If I had twins I could have easily motored back on one. Thankfully I was able to limp back at idle to safety on what i had - but with ferrys and tour boats all over it would have been nice to have the power. So I guess it really comes down to security. I thought new 4 stroke power would give me that security - of course a hole in the oil filter will change all that.

The last thing anyone wants or needs is engine troubles.

Bummer.... And that fairly new Suzuki...

A hole in the oil filter?
How did that happen?

Well the oil was changed for its 10 hour service just before I bought it - It looks like the mechanic somehow got the metal bent on the lip of the filter where you put the wrench. It wasnt leaking for the first 3 hours I ran it. I can only assume the heat of the long run caused a crack to open up where the filter had been damaged. It could have been much worse. At one point were were pretty far from the ramp. We made it back on our own power (very slowly) and got an escort from a 22 Outrage Cuddy owned by Dan (themclos).Thanks Dan! Did have a few other boats escort us part of the way.

I will be posting pics on Monday when I get back. My camera battery died and I don't have the charger at our shore home.

I have updated my project album with first splash pics. Still missing the windshield and few odds and ends. Will continue to post update pictures as things move forward.
