43 GT Build

[torrent]

I keep meaning to tell you, you need to design an additional bottle holder devixe to incorporate there because at 100+, in 4 to 5's, they will not stay where you place them without additional support......

I better go with plastic bottles then!!! Lol.

Velcro tie downs is what I'm thinking. Like a little bottle 5 point harness (with a quick release of course)........

Interior is coming along nicely. The head rest are not installed yet. We are going to embroider the BT logo in the back of them, I think. See how it looks and go from there. This is one of the reasons I like working with Justin at McLeod because if it don't look good it won't be done.

I'm liking the look of those bolsters. You gonna update to the new style headrest?

No, I do not care for the look of the new ones compared to the ones I have.

They are looking reallly good. Can't wait to see with the headrests on.

I had the engine compartment lengthend for the extra room for the staggered set up. I have made 90% of all the mountings and brackets for the build with the help of a few good friends.

How much was the engine compartment lenghtened? Was it done just to the rear/transom area? Are you still using the existing engine hatch or was that maodifies as well? The reason I ask is I would like to stagger and the back of the boat will need to be lengthed as well. As I stated earlier in this thread I acan get about about 76 inches. Which should be enough since I will be using a bravo style drive. Did you do the rigging yourself with help of friends? If I was to go this route I plan to do 90% of the work myself with the help of friends as well.
