Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.

Thanks for the kind words. I am a bit worried about letting someone
else do anything to it. I don't have any experience with mounting an
engine and controls. I don't think that this is the right boat to use
to develop the skills. ;-)

I'll post more pictures when I have it done. Right at the moment I am
trying to overcome the CFO's (my wife) bad case of sticker shock at
getting an estimate for over 12,000.00 for everything. I had her
prepared for less, unfortunately. She also figured out that the
estimate did not include mounting hardware, etc, for the front seats.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to how to mount the front
seats? I got two bucket seats with it that have the standard 8 hole
mounting pattern. The boatyard guy recommends that we have a couple of
mahogany veneer marine plywood boxes built, then mount the seats on
those. The idea is that the inside of the boxes could be used for
storage. It isn't clear to me how I would get to the storage part of
the boxes with the seats mounted on them. My wife thinks that she will
drive the boat occasionally, so she wants the drivers seat to slide
back and forth. Up and down would be nice, but a type IV cushion should
work just fine. I am 6' tall, she is 5' tall. I want both seats to
swivel so that we can turn them around and faces the back seaters when
we are stopped. This feature will also be handy for the observer when
pulling skiers or tubers.

I am open to all suggestions.

Thanks for all the info provided in this thread.

That is a beautiful boat! You won't need an engine to pick up chicks
with that thing!......

Keep us up to date with your progress.....

(I can only guess at your trepidation in letting somebody else mount
the engine and controls...)

We were required to do things like build timber trestle bridges under

days. At least there was plenty of medical attention available.

I spent seven months in that unit. Out of over 35 years of active duty

When did you spend time in Paso Robles?

Paso has grown very quickly in the past ten years. The wine industry
has mostly taken over from ranching and dry farming. There has been
national press describing the Paso Robles area as the next Napa. (not
that that is a good thing) Paso is about to surpass SLO town as the
biggest city in the county.

I live in Mudhole, aka, Atascadero.

Thanks for the info on reliability.

The problem with Suzuki motors and pricing is that there is one
dealer
in my area.

Many people advise paying a higher price to a local dealer so as to
establish a good working relationship for warranty issues, etc.
Buying
from a remote dealer may get a better price. It can come back to
bite
you if you need warranty service.

I live near San Luis Obispo. The nearest dealer is Port San Luis
Marine. They are 1/2 hour from my house. The next closest are in
Fresno, Clovis, Oxnard, and Santa Cruz. All of which are 2-3 1/2
hours
away.

This part of the world is vacationland, so everything costs more
than
the urban areas. For a good laugh look up the cost of real estate
in
San Luis Obispo county, then the major employers. We pay higher
prices
pretty much everything except the local produce at the farmer's
markets. Outboard motors are no different, it seems.

Jolon, now that was bad.


But the bar had good Mexican Pizza.
Never saw a bar in Jolon when I was around there, in the 71-73 time
frame. Guys were volunteering for Nam to get out of Jolon. :-)




Use to pig hunt at Hunter-Ligget during the 80's. Was a pizza parlor
/ bar then just outside the gates. Last time I was there, was closed.
My buddies in the Army reserve use to do summer camp there in the 70's.
They enjoyed it, as they were engineers, and had a water treatment
plant. They used the dozer to make a swimming hole and a trench to
hold the daily 500#'s of ice and the beer.
Never saw any pig hunting, although there were some guys that hit a cow
with a TOW missile (dummy warhead) during an experiment. Said it was an
accident. Rancher got paid. Troops got a BBQ.

Yes Del. The CDEC mask experiments were conducted at Hunter Ligget (sp??).
At least we got most weekends off and many were three day weekends. Family
housing for the troops was at Fort Ord so guys only saw the families on the
weekends. Divorce rate was very high.

Due to heat our workdays started about 0330 for breakfast and I seem to
remember most days finishing with the noon meal also known as LRC.

Those were not the good old days. Morale was lower than whale manure.

At least in Computer division, the computers needed air conditioned
trailers. So we got them too. Our motto was "we won't fight and you
can't make us" :-) at least that was the enlisted draftee motto. I
commuted to Salinas. We had a carpool and worked 730 to 430

Lotsa sheep around there, if I remember right. Won't say any more about that
though.

Troops had to dig foxholes for night defensive positions. Won't say any more
