    Thanks for posting this. Hadn't seen the batteries in the back like that. Pretty sweet. Do you have the part number for that volvo penta bracket? (no worries if not) Might look into that next summer/winter. Also, the air filter is the same right? Just on the end of a silicone elbow to make room for 2nd alternator? Selfishly it's GREAT to have another 8.1 247 on here.

    Looks fantastic. Nice work. I ended up switching out my homemade swim brackets (w/ 3" lift) from last summer to the new style like yours (for reasons I will update in my project). Your 04 mounts must be different than the 07 or I have wrong ones. I had to trim the brackets with the surf gate swim deck. No a big deal but unexpected. I'm sure you'll like the newer stainless wedge much better. Always trouble free unlike PW or the older ones. Please do post your completed projects. Will be very helpful for others for sure. Nice work

    Another G3 swap. We did the same to our 07. Looks great!

    @Shawn7700 Looks nice! Love the updated decals and surf gates. You know.... you'll increase your odds if you threw that surf gate project in the completed projects section (extra count for projects submitted). Just sayin.

    How did you mount the rack to the back wall? Did you have to through bolt it?

    I recognize that boat and that lake. Hope it's going well and we see you out there again.

    @CALIV210 - You got it! Nice rebuild. That's a lot of work when you get to replacing steel. Lots of modern features and it looks brand new! Nice job.

    I knew it. I’ll be up there a bunch this summer. Love that place.

    Probably looked like my wife every time I start a new project and rip the boat apart. She’s been booking camping plans since last year. We are two weeks away from our trip and the boat is in pieces with me hoping my plan even works. I like yours without stickers. Looks good

    Nice boat. And congrats if you just got married.
  11. Rugger
    That's cool. Thanks for uploading the final pics. You're ready for anything now. Like it.

    It can go up first and then down.... as long as gravity still brings the exhaust/water lower than where it started. For that I would use want a flapper and also you need to drill a small hole at the elbow by the transom. For the water that gets trapped. The FAEs have a drain hole at the lowest point outside the boat since they curve up in many cases This is what I've struggled with on my exhaust... the wedge makes you go up and around... using conventional methods.

    As I'm absolutely killing myself on a stainless surf pipe project I'm starting to feel stupid. This stuff looks great. Nice work. I dig the black too! How's the spray on these with a round tube vs oval? No big deal?
  14. Rugger
    Nice! I dig it. Does that mean we need to start a furniture category? i could make one with old surf boards. That’s about all my delaminated, water-soaking Ronix is good for.

    Wow @NDawg. Looks like a brand new boat. Nice upgrade. Jealous!
  16. Rugger
    Great pic. Never get tired of seeing that boat and what it can do.
  17. Rugger
    Perfect! We love the classics. They make great upgrade projects too. ?
  18. Rugger
    What's with the MBs teaming up? haha Damn I wish administrators could enter. I could use one of these. One member already made this upgrade if you want to see more of what it looks like.
  19. Rugger
    Yeah we can put in the resources section. Solid idea. Email it to wakegarage (at..) gmail pls

    Yes... great project. Thanks for sharing. I have a feeling someday I'll reduce my ballast bags to a bit smaller as well. Might copy you!
  22. Rugger
    @Nitrousbird did you run 3.5" inside the boat or 4"? I'm working on exhaust project now... My manifolds exit at 4" and I was debating keeping them 4" to the transom or 3.5". I really don't think it will matter performance wise. Won't need reducers if keep at 4", but mildly easier to create a Y with 3.5 into 4". 8.1 motor... great torque but none of these boats are extreme HP. I'll be going to single surf exhaust out the back.

    Thanks @Dale974. If you get the chance.... I really love this tower. Solid, solid, solid. Still think the Illusions are one of the best all time looking. But this one is really solid and a bit taller.
  24. Rugger
    ^^^ haha. I'll bet you would
