Hey JJ, will be giving you a call, p.m. your #.Here is a video of the same boat I am building.The guy goes buy MORGU on Hotboat.He sold the boat already, but in this video he had it all set up wrong with a 3 blade prop.He was running mid 70's mild BB ford, changed to a 2 blade prop running 18 gears doing mid high 80's and a nice set.When I start assambling this thing will need to no what gears to run.Mine are 12's.

Pretty cool George! Bert ain't lying, that Hondo got some serious flake going on, lol.... Always thought it would be neat to see what my boat looked like originally, underneath the red..... Are you going to try & save the gel on the Hondo, or is it too wasted? I dunno about that video, boat was hoppin all over the place, lol....

Keep at it, cool project for sure. :smile20:

When I seen the flake , you were the first person I thought of.If it had gloss it would look similar to yours.I really kind of like the old paint sceme.But gonna back with it the way it was.I went online paid 52.00 did a people search and came up with phone #s , address's and relatives of the last titled owner.Talked with his sons wife yesterday.She remebered riding in it on the trinity river.Getting closer to old pics and a title. :smile19:The lady said it brought back alot of good memories :smile13:

Okay here is some pics.I still need to get the title thing done before I sink any more money in it.Will be pulling the rudder and shaft out when we take the boat off the trailer.The rideplate is undone for execpet the 4 rudder bolts.I dont think what is left of the steering wheel has ever been off look at the safety wire? ;D

Well got the boat flipped, and getting ready to start on the bottom.I made me a Dolly. While I was over at my buds, one of his buds had some wheels for sale.So these will be the wheels I will be running on the trailer.Not really what I wanted but for 150.OO they will do. Unless somebody has some nice SMOOTHIES TO TRADE? :smile15:

Not bad for 150 bucks, got tires too...... Run em for awhile till you run across a set of smoothies then swap 'em out. You could sell the aluminum wheels pretty easy if you decided to.
