After buying this beauty 5 years ago. I am finally getting her put together. Put a lot of work in to her the past 7 months. Life is busy and putting a boat together can be put on the back burner but I'm shooting to have her on the water in the next couple months.
Stripped down and sanded on the inside.

Bed lined and ready for seat, console and motor.

2012 90Hp XL that I covered to a long shaft

Center console that is still in the works
I will post more pictures as I finish things up and start to get the boat put together.

That things gonna fly with a 90hp on it!

Did you have to modify the splashwell to mount it up?  Mine has a jackplate that i wanna get rid of but havent felt like going through the hassle of opening it up and reglassing it all to mount the bottom bolts.

Did not have to modify anything. The 2012 Honda has the same bolt pattern as the old 90 that was on the boat. The Honda is only about 60-70 pounds heavier then the old 100hp which is the Max rating for the boat.

One reason it's taking so long. Cut every peace by hand and changing things along the way... only thing left is to weld it all up cut holes for doors fishing finder VHF radio switch panels and ignition switch.
