Gonna look. I have this funny thing about going out prepared to be boarded/inspected.
 
Spent some more time today. It's gonna be a nice boat one day.

Measured the crappy hatch= 19.5 inside of trim ring.

Gonna try to connect with my tech buddy tomorrow to schedule the engine yanks.
 
Checked lights at night. Transom Nav light inop.

One of the trim card lights, inop.

Bow courtesy, inop.

Gonna pull all the cushions. Today I ran a fan and then closed her up with one of those hangy-absorby-baggy-thingys hanging from Crappyhatch.

Boy... these sure have a LOT of hidden stowage. What's THAT about.
 
Thanks. I have a lot of ideas now. I have had possesion for 60 hours. I am going to replace the interior. The old is too skanky. I can do most of it and sub the cushions out. The constrcution technique will work in my favor.
 
:) no kidding.. I have only inches on the Avanti saides and fence.
Great looking Apache.. post some pics with your progress.


Thanks. It needs some work, but it should turn out ok. I see that you still have the very nice Formula.

It still makes me unhappy that you are letting the Avanti go. But I respect your decision. You know what is best for you.

I still like that formula. :D

Yeaah... :( THe Avanti got to go or it will be in storage for months..

For now.. I'm keeping the ole' Formula. I can put it into cruise mode and go all day.. with out working hard with my shoulder. The Avanti wants to go.. and I can't argue. lol
But it's hard on my shoulder with the throttle/trim etc. stuff.
It's hard to get her in the cruising mode. I took her out last weekend to the iseland, (Anclote).. I wanted to just have a nice ride there. No way.. !!!!:rofl:
As soon as we got out of the channel.. I had to slam it.. The seas were flat.. so my arm was ok.

BTW.. if you need some parts... give me a call.. I got some pretty good sources.
 
Hey John, If you look at my post on OSO, I had the hatch removed and repainted, it was supposed to be repainted and resealed with 5200, it never leaked until it got cold in the last 2 months, that really burns me up. I paid those people good money to do everything right!!, but I guess when you only pay 17,000 for paint work that is what you get:banghead:. As for the motors what have you found to have caused the failures on the motors?? It looks good in front of your house, I kinda miss it:), no not really, I miss all the money I spent!!!!
