I have three shops to talk to now - all want to see the boat - I have to get it back on the trailer to do that - The good news - The two open areas of the boat have been dry for days now - but I will leave them open till the last minute. Thanks for checking in - I will post some pics when I'm done taking all the stuff off.... Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

Your parts look good and I have a few pieces I need to get done -- were they expensive? There is a local bumper shop here that I need to check out but we will see.

The cost was $450.00 - This included the bow eye and transom eyes for my 13 as well. You can ship to them direct or you could send to me and I will take it there personally. Whichever works for you - You can PM me if you would like Rob. Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

Then I will take it to the three shops I have in mind to get some estimates on the re gelcoating. Here is the stripped console..... quite ugly isnt it?

That screw is fused to the cleat now...

Did the previous owner move it several times or something. I assume you are going to epoxy in some dowels and fill these up. Make sure to measure out the holes where they are today -- you do not want to have the same thing happen to you. I guess you could just leave the proper holes open. I have been know to go a little over board when working on things. I want mine to be hole free when I start to rig it out. Rob 1973 Outrage/Lo-Pro Conversion

If you do not have photoshop skills send me the images and a sketch with detailed dimensions and I would be happy to do it. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

Member Project Albums Posts: 1003 Comments: 36 Joined: 06/18/08	Looks like you will soon be addressing the resurfacing of the transom. I have had the same issues with a certain number of holes drilled for past installations. I have the chain fall but will have to solve the support to be able to remove my outboard.This to be able to inspect and resurface this specific area in it's entirety. If it helps you for future installation of power,"My Girl" came with a large piece of stainless bolted to the inside transom section for beefing up the support for power.I will be leaving the plate on for added stability. Great work Scott my friend.. Dont lie Dont Cheat And dont give up..

Member Project Albums Posts: 1282 Comments: 13 Joined: 12/27/05	Hey guys - yeah it appears that there has been many single and dual motor combination over the years. I will be filling in all the holes except for the correct set for the twin application. I am thinking of sleeveing those holes to prevent any water intrusion in the transom if the sealant ever leaks. Ok well I have both motors off now..... Here are some progress pics and a pic of my custom motor stand.

I'm sure its the same as Rob's as our boats are of similar age. Let me know. Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

When I had the dealership building I could go out and work on the boat -- it sure was nice to have that option when you were slow. Rob 1973 Outrage/Lo-Pro Conversion

Member Project Albums Posts: 1282 Comments: 13 Joined: 12/27/05	Well its been a while - I figured I would post an update. I contracted a local shop to do all the gelcoat work - She is scheduled to go in December 1st. They will be removing the cap - grinding out all the cracks and crazing etc... and regelcoating the whole hull inside and out - new deck skid and all. Then the cap will be put back on and regelcoated as well. The deck hatches will all be recored. The console will be refinished as well They figure it will take about 4 months to complete. It wont be cheap but I figure I will have a new Whaler when I am done. When I get it back a new fuel system, rub rail, wiring and new twin 90hp motors - I am leaning towards the new Suzuki's. I of course will visit regularly and take photos and post them here. Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8

Member Posts: 1926 Comments: 16 Joined: 05/02/08	Scott - For your reference, here are a few more photos of mine. After these were taken, the boat is now totally upgraded, converted to single engine, and ready for service. As you can see, only the red rubrail has to be replaced!!! Maybe new Mills canvas also. New photos soon. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v42...rage%2019/ Since you're staying with twins, I have the original twin engine Morse "red knob" MT-2 control, with neutral safety switches, if you're interested. Only downside is no trim control in the handles. You will have a knock-out boat when completed, with that new gelcoat job. Are you going to try to match the original outside and inside colors? On the fuel system, I installed the Mercury style (compact) water sep filter behind the little plastic panel, under the narrow "stern seat". (look for the 3 big screws holding it in the photos) The fuel line then runs over to the Port side, fitted with an "ell", and back to the engine with primer bulb. I put blank plates over the the two rubber boot rigging ports, and am not using them, instead using the smaller openings under the cross member. This keeps all rigging way off on the sides, and not in the way of the teak well cover. The all original console, designed way too low, is raised 4" on teak riser blocks and beam. PS: Left a message at Barbour today, no return call. Hopefully tomorrow!

In shorts and; you'll pardon the pun here; It is great to hear of how your refit is progressing. I have been planning my phase two on my own project here; The deck. As discussed before there is about 80% of factory non skid on the surfaces and I am at school to a plan of actions to renew the surfaces. I will be keenly listening to your progressions on your favorite project now.. I know that at the completion of your refit,and after viewing your photo gallery; My one word comment will be OUTRAGEOUS!! I've got your six! Dont lie Dont Cheat And dont give up..

Member Project Albums Posts: 1282 Comments: 13 Joined: 12/27/05	Thanks Guys! I am thinking about switching her to desert tan or something of the like - Since the boat is not going to be original - (im replacing the wood doors with something nicer, repowering with 4 strokes, hydraulic steering, etc) I can move on the color a little - It just have to look nice with the red rubrail and logo.... Anyone have any other color ideas? Scott 1974 21' Revenge w Mercury 200 ProXS V8
