Rugger Posted June 11, 2020 Report Posted June 11, 2020 @tunafoot Total restoration? What's the story? That might needs its own thread. But it's a sweet boat.

Bms Posted June 14, 2020 Report Posted June 14, 2020 2010 Tige rz2. Just finished installing gsa and the next project is going to be a surfpipe/fae exhaust.
Rugger Posted June 26, 2020 Report Posted June 26, 2020 DEADLINE is coming up! JUNE 30! Odds are pretty dang good! Wish Admins could sign up Although I already put GLIDE in my boat -- it is awesome. 1
RyGuyCPA Posted June 26, 2020 Report Posted June 26, 2020 HOLY CRAP! I have a ridiculous leak in my mid-bilge area and am planning to replace the Dripless shaft seal in my 2014 Axis A24 ASAP. This is my first boat, got a slip at my campground... and the boat has been taking on 6+ inches of water overnight. Its on the trailer now just sitting around waiting for parts & DIY labor. This giveaway would be a LIFESAVER! This Axis is a dram boat and I can't WAIT to get back on the lake! Sophie seconds this comment (my furry skipper). Also, any vids, recommendations or guidance on this project would be much appreciated. I am quite handy, but have very little experience with marine engines.
MartinArcher Posted June 26, 2020 Report Posted June 26, 2020 1987 Malibu Sunsetter I'l love to install a dripless packing system. :) Once I get the garage done I hope to tear into a new boat flooring project. Some of the ones on the board have made me a bit envious. lol

bono26 Posted June 27, 2020 Report Posted June 27, 2020 My project wish is a better way to stack amps, so that you can easily wire, adjust gain and not have to worry about items placed against them for fear of heat buildup.
