Restoring the steering wheel of my Deluxe.
It was really damaged and burned by the sun since it was abandoned. The boat has been dry for more than 30 years !
I had to first remove the tape that was on and melted, then I had to fill all the cracks made by the sun with mastic and then I sanded and painted it. the result is not perfect as Agleason but it still remains in better condition than at the start.

Perfection is a l o n g stretch, Bob. I'm making a lot of this stuff up as I go along. Right now, it's a 17' paper weight. I assume it will float, probably steer, possibly run and hopefully won't self-destruct during sea trials. I'll be running 26 wires from the engines to the dash panel. If I can get better than half the things working properly, I'll proclaim victory, have a beer and take the rest of the day off! Here'a shot of the starboard engine terminal blocks. Wish me luck!

If I want a job..... I’d like to but I can’t leave mine and i live in France

. This is a job I would like to do but my free time allows me to practice this work for fun.
Thank you for your proposal for the dashboard and the starboard red/green lenses. I may have to get a dashboard, but I’m not sure, but I’m interested for the lenses.
I have not yet begun the restoration of the hull. Maybe this summer but the boat is not at home which is not practical . For now I am finishing my johnson reveler. I have to try it next week. I look forward to it.

Do not hesitate to put more picture of your restomod. it will help me for mine

You should give serious thought to converting the outdrive bellows to the newer "square" style:
nuwavemarine.com/sierra-transom-seal-omc-909527-18-2768/
These bellows are not cheap but they are available and brand new. The round bellows are absolutely impossible to find, even used ones. I had to go with the round ones because two engines didn't leave enough room.

The one I have has none. It’s not the same model as yours. I guess it’s not the original one, or depending on the years of production they weren’t identical.
It seems to me that you reshaped the striations with a small saw blade?

Hello, some small work started today. Disassembly of the boat parts.
the rest of the dashboard, the rest of the windshield (frame), tank support, what remains of the reinforcements of the rear panel....
Many aluminum parts are oxidized, the rusted screws had to be cut as impossible to disassemble. Restoration work in perspective.
The floor and foam are full of water and the hull will require a big job.

It’s very difficult to find. I don’t think they’re manufactured anymore. The only ones that can be found are opportunities or ends of stock or from individuals. I have 2 for my reveler but for the deluxe I will probably pass on the more recent model if I mount an old omc engine !

I put "OMC 12 hole transom" in an Ebay search and saved it. After about a year, an NOS one turned up for $125...I bought it and considered myself lucky. After that, another one turned up...good used. Bought that one for about $50 I think.

I suppose you could buy the "square" one with 16 holes, carefully cut it round and then punch your own holes but I've never tried it.
