Jesse was able to pick up the seats today. See pics below. The white tabs on the rear cushion will be orange vinyl in a few weeks.

No can pile this time around...wasn't a compressed time frame like last time. Heard from our engine guy this morning and he is talking 2-3 weeks. So fingers crossed. We would then have to paint some ancillary parts and put it all back together and wire it. Sooooo...plenty left to do

I'm going to have to take the time and review this thread from the beginning, you guys do great work. That gel work looks amazing and the flooring is classic. This is going to be a great looking boat when done.

Got the gas tank installed along with some T-trim. Also mounted the throttle. The upholstery is ready and unfortunately we didnt get to pick it up. Hoping to hear the engine is done soon. We will see. Next up, probably start wiring.

Another item we are looking for...there is a plastic shoulder washer on our morse control. These are wear parts and were not used in later style controls. The later style has the brass pivots in the metal arm hole. This style has the shoulder washer between the pivot and the arm. With Ron's help at SkiBoatPartsOnline, I found them at McMaster http://www.mcmaster.com/products/shoulder-washers/. Will probably order them (100pk). Anyone have some? Or does anyone need any?

Thanks Ken...I'll look for an anti siphon barbed fitting...see that Skidim has it for our next order if I can't find locally. And just to confirm, since these fittings are NPT, NO yellow tape is needed, correct?

You would just screw the anti siphon valve into the 90 degree fitting.
The anti siphon valve is barbed and has the spring loaded ball check inside of it  |

Spent the weekend at farm/lake. Got the rubrail done, steering installed, throttle on (the lever was in my truck in need of a set screw). Also bent a rope minder out of a 3’ half round stick. Not perfect but a decent first try. May try again. Think 2.5’ would be better as it would be a little shorter. Also got new step pads from jet on eBay. They are awesome. Have the old ones that are in decent shape if anyone wants to make an offer.
Tried to get the wiring started but the 10’ wire harness we bought from skidim seems short. I remember it being tight on the Tique but it seemed even shorter this time. Thoughts? EDIT: It is short. Last time we used a 16' harness from Ebasic Power. Ordered one and will do elec soon. Another question. Can’t see the tique gas tank right now. What fittings should be on fuel tank to connect fuel line? Right angle>>check valve>>barbed fitting??? Thanks.

David when I replaced Kermits rubrail I followed the above with the exception of NOT having a screw in the center of the bow I started on the stern first since its a double bend meaning you have two corners to bend around. You damn sure don't want the end/start of a new piece on a corner or just after a corner, If I had to do it again I'd use some 3/16 rope or paracord and tape it in place all the way around where your rubrail is gonna go Pick a starting point and mark the rope with a sharpie every 12' ( I think a stick is 12 feet long) and that will tell where the seams are gonna land. On the last shortest piece don't measure and cut it before you install it. I did that and when I installed it I ended up about 3/16" short leaving a gap.
 . Looking great! Gotta start working on a name for it if you haven't aready. "Tangerine Dream!"
And as far as the driver goes.... I did manage to talk to him this past weekend. No surprise but he is still on the go. Daytona for the race, Working on his tan in the islands Mon'. He'll be at the Ruckus so I'll see him that copilot with him so I'll get in person confirmation that he still exists. Word has it that CQ may end up at the Ruckus too but he's harder to get hold of than Pinky.

It doesn’t seem quite believable but every time I talk to him lately he is on the road to a job site doing work for Quinner - it doesn’t make no damn sense and yet it’s true

No kidding. He can be pretty elusive. I even stopped in at his shop (work, not BBC) one day when I was in Mooresville on business (well monkey business, picking up a seat at the upholstery shop). His person up front said he wasnt there, was out "on a job site" (wink wink nudge nudge)

I would grind a line through the gel above where the screws go and below the top of the rub rail as is the current production method of preventing straw cracks making their way from the new screw holes up onto the deck. Rubber hammers, wood forms, and patience. Reid has probably done it more replacements than anyone at this point take it over to the bbc on a work night and have him supervise

Like the 2x4 tip.
Gary. I see your screw in the very front. So it can be done. I have a set of those drill bits, good advice. We will put in screws as we go. Who is that driving your boat
...haven't seen that guy in a bit. |

When I did mine I used the exact same holes that I could that were already in the boat. I started and ended in the same spots that Correct Craft did. This is about the best picture I have. You can see a screw directly in the front. Tapping with a rubber and plastic hammers help but don't skip a screw when trying to bend your curve ie place screw in rail,attach then bend. The actual hardest part is across the stern you have to bend the rail horizontally across the back. Get yourself a hinge drill bit- it centers the drill bit in the center of the countersunk pre drilled hole in the rail making the screw sit flush when done. 2 person job take your time   |

Not an expert, never have done it, but I remember JoeinNY saying he bent rub rail around the bends by pushing a 2 x 4 around it to push it against the hull.....if that helps at all.

This is the place I like to share as it is the place I learned and I like the thread style...I can't even figure out how to find a post on FB after I refresh the screen. I need a lesson.
I filled the existing rubrail holes with thickened epoxy (cabosil). Used a ziploc bag with the corner cut off to fill (like a cake icing bag). Wish us luck as we plan to put it on this weekend. It will look so much better. Any tips or tricks for bending rubrail? We have a plan but if anyone has tips from bad experiences we would love to avoid mistakes!!! Any tips as to where to put joints? I have read not to have screw hole on the bow/nose as the hole can deform so we are going to try to position a screw just off the nose. As for when the boat will be ready...depends on the engine and upholstery (those two are out of our control). Tough to go without engine. Upholstery is optional...5 gal buckets/lawnchairs and we are some motorboating SOBs. We are getting there with everything else...would think Apr/May. Fingers crossed!

More work done. Got the flooring glued in. Still need to add t trim to the batt box cover and rear floor. And starting to put some parts and pieces back on. Next time we work will be the windshield and gauges. Boat will get all fresh wiring and fuse panels. Engine is at shop and we hear progress is being made. Valves and springs were shot so they are being replaced and new rings. Upholstery went to the shop last week as well.

Our floor will be a slight mod from original. We really liked our design we did in the tique and copied it. Ply floor with glass over. The entire floor is smooth and will have one sheet of Nautolex. The rear floor will still pull out with T trim like original.

I’m guessing Tim’s engine was too pretty to run right and had to come back apart. all the best looking one’s always do… I wasn’t trying to mess up the orange skier thread too much - but can report no twin turbos running around my parts - some new CorrectCrafts some CorrectCraft setbacks but I’ll try to play with Imgur once the boats come out the barn

Damn Tim, that's a sweet engine.
Interesting location for the pitot equalization tube at the rear of the engine. I also want to know a bit more about the blue GT-500 in the background. The color seems to match the engine pretty well. JQ
