5. remove the brand new transom knees ( i know i can get em done lighter and stronger) (Done)
6. remove the core in the pad and about 2 feet up on each side ( it is new but i suspect some movement and flexing and i want to know its don right) (Done)
Rebuild By Barrons Custom Boat
1. re core 12 by 4 section (Done)
2. run a centre stringer ( dont know what material yet) (not doing)
3. build new knees stronger ( 22" of set back isnt easy on anything) (Done)
4. re glass the deck to the transom (Done)
5. sharpen and straighten the bottom of the hull (Done)
6. install new smaller tank closer to the rear ( old tank was 211 L .. new tank im thinking about 120 L (new tuff marine 30 Gallon tank)
7. install lighter thinner floor (same thinkness floor)
8. re build rear bench seat with lighter material (Not doing.. race hatch in place of back seat)
My plan for the Motor
Rick is doing a Equivalent phase 2 kit from hydrotec.... ( M.R.S Phase 2 ) (Fuck it i just bought a phase 3 from HT)
HT claims 50 hp .... i dont buy it... my guess is 25- 30 hp
made the pad 7.5 inches instead of the 6.5 it was
i hope this will make this challenger faster..... but who knows it might be slower... fingers crossed
I didn't see replace trim button on your list...I would think the other one is worn out!
