Pete, your link............she no work. Probably something to do with that %20 you have in there at the end of your link address

Here's one that works working link

Yep! My uncle gets back from vacation this weekend, so I’ll be taking it over to his shop next week to come up with our plan of action.

I also bought the drivers seat linked to earlier in this thread, so it is on its way.

And I sent measurements to Skip Dunlap for a boat cover. I found his info on BallofSpray and reviews spoke highly of him and his covers.

CCF Super Sport ballast install

I don’t have enough room to park it at my house in the city. I went over this evening in the dark and pulled drain plugs. I haven’t gone around and taken a bunch of pics yet. It’s cold and the trip was so non stop I just didn’t get it done. I will take pics before we tear into the interior.

First sentence of the quote should answer that question of "does she run"

Donald, I was thinking the same thing. One consideration I did come up with was that the boat was listed as a Repo. Not usually a good place to find cooperation from experience, but worth a try. I’m betting Denny is all done driving for awhile if he can help it

I have no idea if this would even fit and it seems awful expensive but here is something on ebay

This might be outside the box, but why try to find OEM interior pieces? I think this is the perfect opportunity to modernize the interior and make a walk through. Here is a pic from rosewell's OG SAN.

If they don't get back to you, you can always sift through their instagram. I believe they even have a 2 part YouTube video on the build. I have a 98' SS and did a lot of upgrades and learned a lot. I'm planning to turn the single engine hatch cover into a 3 piece With gas shocks instead of the powered actuator this spring. Elbow grease goes a long way and so does 303...ha ha! If the boat doesn't have a ballast system, it would be a lot easier install when the boat is already apart.

Maybe just be a bit patient and wait for something original to pop up?

I think if we all look we will find you a seat back. I’d call the old Christines to see if they have anything or a line as well as C+S—the new factory logo upholsterer—and a few dealerships—maybe even the factory. Persistence often yields luck.

I've called Christine's and several dealerships. Also spoke to Skip, an old school Nautique guy in Florida who I got my cover from. He said the factory has cleared out anything that old. He bought 3 shipping containers of old stuff from the factory a few years back.

That back seat is a needle in a haystack for sure.

I totally messed up the other driver's seat in a couple air headed moves. End of the story is buying off of eBay was easier and way less hassle.

So updates.....

the boat is in my dad's shop an hour away, and I finally got at it a few weeks ago, chipping off at it on the weekend.

The interior pieces are all made and foamed, and the covers will be done in the next couple weeks. The back seat turned out really nice! Made from plywood and fiberglass.

We super deep cleaned the carpet with simple green and a pressure washer, still have to shampoo it but it looks 10x better.

We compounded the fiberglass yesterday, and have to finish that up.

The teak swim platform is soaking up layer after layer of teak oil haha. It looks really good, but I think a few more coats will get it all the way back.

A bunch of little projects still need to get done. My second kid will be here in the next week or two. I'm still planning to get it ready for this summer, but we will see.

What batteries should I get and where should I mount them? It came with 2 batteries wired to a perko switch, each one sitting not mounted on either side of the engine.

Also... did this boat come with interior/seperating pieces on both sides of the engine? I only have them for the passenger side.

Where do I buy gelcoat patch kits? I couldn't find that natural color. Also, can anyone confirm, is the brown color zephyr?

Is the rubber that goes inside the board racks available anywhere?

What are the specs for a replacement steering wheel and knob?

This boat was parted out a little while ago on here. I got the some of the upholstery.
