The swimplatform had to be a little longer to cover the Arneson drives and sharp props ,I used a 3/8 thick aluminium plate that is bolted in place .
Extra reinforcement pipes has to be welded to the frame ,and bolted to the transom to add more strength for the extension,this is on the list for next week.

Today I finished the exhausts for both engines ,the tips are Hardin marine with a flapper inside ,I welded those onto a 4 inch male thread pipe ,while the inside exhaust is welded to a female 4 inch thread bushing,this way I can screw the tips onto the inner exhaust ,so there is nothing but stainless steel underwater.
I tried to keep as much space in the center between both exhausts,so the small 4 kw diesel generator could fit in there .
The generator is several years old ,but new,never run before ,and I got it very cheap thanks to my Hustler friend !


Next week I was hoping to make the 1 1/2 inch water pick ups that are adjustable in height .

Ok,I will switch props , the shift cables are not installed yet ,so thats easy
Whats your intention with inboard rotation ,more bowlift ? the 6 blades are 21 inch diameter ,so I was expecting tremendous stern lift ,but like you mentioned in an earlier post ,, never sell a prop before you try ,, so I will do .

Thx A.J
