Cutting the splash well seems to be the easiest way to swap a transom. I elected to split the entire hull. But that adds some more work. Can't speak to whether or not theres core in the sponsons.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Went through the powerhead, installed new reeds, rebuilt the carbs, new fuel and bleed lines, new thermostats, rebuilt fuel pump and poppet valve, new stator and trigger and a new flywheel. My flywheel had a broken screw. Fabricated a mount to run rigging hose on the clamshell cowl. Everything is ho...

Thats about what I was expecting to pay. So I'm hoping they come in close to that. Your seats are looking good!

Ron, I knew you were going to tell me to do my own upholstery work hahaha. I know you've done a fair amount of it yourself and it looks great from what I can see.

Looking great, Ron!

I have all the switches set in a temporary switch panel so I was able to complete the wiring while waiting for my permeant p...

This is the first time I've been able to see the interior of this hull. I'm no Hydrostream expert, just do a lot of research.
