Get some tube and sheet metal and St. John and copy a new Malibu tower.

is this what you used? or something similar...everybody has there own name..I think there is a bunch that comes out of Brazil. This stuff is from China.
there are two different types..paper faced and the resin faced...resin one being better.
$40 a sheet is good. I think most places it is around $80.

That is exactly like what I used. My stuff was made by a company called Symons and must be phenolic faced. You can sand on one spot with a power sander for 3-4 minutes and it doesn't go through. It's some pretty tough stuff. The guy still has some sheets left on craigslist up here, I think it will work good.

Floor is done, and the motor is in the boat. Scratching our heads and trying to figure out the wiring.

So basically, I need to supply the starter with 12v and hook up the grounds and it's pretty much plug and pray at that point aside from the fuel system.

apparently they didnt pray properly

No, apparently they didn't label the wiring when they disconnected everything.

**agjohn02** · 03-30-2008, 11:12 PM

Doh!

**Fredo** · 03-30-2008, 11:12 PM

no, the wiring that ties it into the boat is the same plug. It's the wiring on the motor. I think I remember flem, jimmy, and I drinking beer while tearing it down. Didn't label some of the sending unit wires so much. I'll get it figured out tomorrow night.

Here's a pic of us using the patented BMF Skyhook o' Death getting ready to put the engine and trans in. The other one was the stopping point for the night. Other than waiting on some parts to come in, things seem to be going relatively smooth. Still lots to do after it's running like the interior and the stereo.

Sweet!

Did you guys test the hatch to see if it clears the intake?

Negative ghostrider. Going to have to make a lip for the cover to sit on. I think it should clear with a 2" boost.
