Wow! Very beautiful. The trailer looks too short. It looks like you have 2 sets of pivoting bunks -- do the rear ones extend to the end of transom? Do you like the pivoting bunk set-up?

WhalerDan,

It was a roller trailer I converted to a pivoting bunk trailer. The second set of bunks do extend till the end of hull. It actually works very well and centers easily when pulling up to it. The roller trailer left low spots in the hull which I noticed when restoring her so I decided to go bunk.

I never really gave the Newport model a second look, I saw one yesterday on the water, and the word "SLEEK" came to mind, it has such great "Lines", nice "Smooth" dead rise toward's the Bow on that model, I'm really starting to like it a lot (funny how boat's do that to you). Your boat look's "Fantastic" !

Beautiful job. What kind of wood did you cover the tank hatch with?

The Hatch is Okume Plywood Natural with Satin Urethane. The dash is Okume Plywood with Minwax Mahogany stain and Gloss Urethane with Solid Phillipine Mahogany trim pieces. The RPS seat is a combination Solid Phiilipine Mahogany sides and internals with Solid Santos Mahogany faceboards. The Gunnels are Solid Philipine Mahogany. Rear piece in front of splashwell is Solid Santos Mahogany. Most pieces had 6 coats of Helmsman Urethane sanded 320 between coats then buffed after final coat.

just wondering if you have had the deck wet and if it were slippery? I had a little Mckee that I put wood over the center tunnel. It was slicker than snot. I too had a nice urethane finish on it

Bake,

No i have not. I didn't finish the floor with a gloss finish or poiish it like all the other off the deck surfaces. In reality with the cooler behind the RPS there really isn't very much of the floor exposed. I would probably add some kind of non-skid surfacer if there were large areas exposed. They do make some clear anti-skid tape now that I saw if it becomes a problem.

just thought I would give you that heads up. I also had to be very careful on my 15 anchor hatch when standing up there with wet feet.

Thanks Bake. I hate to hide the wood but I might get the cushion for the hatch.

Looks great I am working on restoring mine right now. It looks like you have your reserve oil tank mounted under your center console, I would love to move mine. Have you had any problems with oil flow?

Not at all. That is where my oil tank was originally. Just make sure you use the heavy duty oil/gas hose. It is 1/4 inch. The channel under the deck that all the hoses and cables run is pretty big. I used a two cable steering system and even added two auxilary cable packs just in case and there is plenty of room under there. Also just and FYI bleed the oil line to the VRO or oil pump if you have one so you dont start it up dry.
