One more shot

[SJFE]

Sorry I had to pull those images for a while today for editing. So the Rio is getting one final chance @ life in the fleet. Let's see what happens.

SJFE, I like it man. I am not familiar with the hull. How long and is fiberglass?

Tom, remember Ray is in the process of moving to AZ.

Thanks Douggie. I didn't wana get into anything complicated. I just need to do numbers now an the graphics are complete.The boat it's self is another story. I forgot Ray was moving when I ordered the strut and bracket. Its the only thing holding me up. I need that strut mounted before I can set the drive line, do bulkhead fittings, tabs, turnfins & steering linkage. Well there is the matter of money for the afore mentiond tabs & fins...lol. Buying the SV has cast one to many irons in the fire yet again. Will I ever learn???

We hope not

To much fun just the way you are! Hate to loose that "entertainment factor"

[SJFE]

Doby I will never change... I had a request to see the new stern finished so here are a couple close up shots.





I didnt realize how much I cut off...lol

Hey man, that set up looks kinda familiar !!!!
I had to get a bit creative with the mounting brackets to make them fit on the weird transom of the Rio, but I think they look the part.
They are a bit flexible so I beefed them up with a tie bracket made from threaded rod and a piece of tubing.

Yup it was your idea. I wish I was as good @ cutting and finishing the aluminum. My brackets are a little messy.
