Dyeguy's 1648 Mod- Pics Update... DONE

[dyeguy1212]

These are the trim tabs I'm going with. Pretty good price. I'd prefer fully adjustable ones, but they're just not in my price range. I thought about going with pods, but they're even more expensive, and more of a pain in the arse to install.

and a 1 1/16" hole saw for the 3/4" thru-hull fittings
an 11/16" hole saw for the spray nozzel (if anyone knows where I can find these cheap, please let me know!!)

I know they probably won't be cheap but do have a Fastenal? Man they have a brand that makes the best cuts I have seen come out of a hole saw...and the stay straight.

You mod looks like it is going to be really nice. Keep us posted.

Nope.. I'm just looking to find the two sizes as a drill bit from HD, but they don't have them. I thought about getting something close and just filing it out, but I'd rather not have to do that.

Can't find the sizes I need at harbor freight either, and I was really depending on them to keep my costs down :lol:

Here is a spray head very similar to mine: https://www.boatersland.com/att41257.html

And Cabela's has one you can tie a hose on: https://www.cabelas.com/p-0031989017566a.shtml

I swear I looked at those but didn't see the size I needed... thats really weird..


Thanks for bringing that to my attention.. you just made a sale :lol:

Heres a picture of the spray head I'm using.. its more of an aerator head..

A little money saving tip for you. If you havent already bought ur 2x2s, then get 2x4s and rip them in half. In my neck of the woods, 2x2s were only a few cents cheaper than 2x4s. So by getting 2x4s and ripping them, I basically got 2 for the price of 1. Nice boat by the way. This is gonna be a sweet ride when its done.

 

[dyeguy1212]

Thanks for the tip, but they're pretty well priced up here. Not to mention it would cost me more, because all I have is a skilsaw, which makes for some pretty uneven cuts.

 

[Sureshot]

Dyeguy - what size open width hinges did you order from aircraft spruce. Im not sure what ones to get...

Skilsaw is what I use to rip them. Cuts arent always perfect but close enough.

Fred Bear be proud of you man...

Ummmmmm......Their customer service sucks. A nice lady answered the phone then handed it to some jerk who yelled obscenities at me.

Great project I am looking forward to your progress. Always looking for new idea's for my project. :USA1:

Dyeguy that's a good looking boat, its got tons of potential. I can see it camouflage when you get done. :mrgreen: Looks good and steady in the water also. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I've been trying my damnedest to get some stencils, but the company that I'm looking to get them from keeps blowing me off. I'm looking for something similar to the ones pictured, and these are the closest I can get (the long one across the bench):
