Where my money is going......

[silver03cobra]

Its a 1975 Di Marco. I dont know much about the boat. Bought it on Ebay for 1,900.00 came from Santa Rosa, CA. It came with "everything but a motor".
Well In the pic's It does not look that bad but wow! the floor was full of water, and there was holes all over. I am now fiberglassing the boat and about to paint the top 3/4 of the boat. Here is my progress.

Here is when I just got it.

The wiring was fried in the back. I think there was a fire in it. The guy put the rub rail in and used 1inch wood screws and they went through most of the wires...... So I will be rewiring the full boat, after paint.
When I go to the machine shop tomorrow I will take pic's of the engine.

Nice project man!

[Mr. Austin]

dang you came along way looks like alot of fun!!

[About2Bite]

Where are the rest of the pics? lol I was hoping to see it finished with all the progress pics. Looks like a fun project, goodluck with it.

[silver03cobra]

ha ha ha come over and help sand the paint off.... takes for ever!

has to be 4 and 1/2 inch all the way around....

[wickedcobra]

Looks like alot of fun........I wish I had the patience for something like that.

[ttocs]

do you have a name for it yet? As soon as I saw it, it reminded be of the movie the great outdoors when dan acroyd(sp?) went and rented the Suck My Wake and towed john candy around the lake....

A 454 in that little thing, should make for some great gas milage......

[Jacostang]

We had a 19 foot Anthony with a Berkley jet, 460 for with wet Bassett pipe, jet- A- Vator to spray the shoreline, it was a blast, it had 2 10 gallone spun alluminum tanks and would rune all day. Looks like fun in the sun!!

[santa_rosa_lt1]

you came up here and didn't say hi :icon_cry:



but on a serious note: your boat is going to be a mean mother "watch your mouth"

[silver03cobra]

lol yes it will be fun! I do have a name!
"Mc Lovin"

or

"Likes IT Wet"

what do you guys think?

[ttocs]

likes it wet could have a good, a bad, and an ugly meaning that would make for a bad joke if you ever had an accident on it......... to me it says,"watch what you ask for" flavor to it that scares me.

[silver03cobra]

very true

[Jacostang]

Mc Lovin!!!!

[silver03cobra]

only 3 girls want "Likes IT Wet" everyone so far is a "Mc Lovin" fan!

[Mr. Austin]

+1 for Mc lovin

likes it wet you might be getting some dirty looks

[Built4speed]

nice little speeder! looks like a perfect project. and add one for Mc Lovin.

[About2Bite]

How about "McLovin likes it wet" :laughing::biglaugh::bounce:

A sandblaster might help with that paint :pinkthumb:

[silver03cobra]

cant have sand all over the ground..... Dont want little holes all over..

[wickedcobra]

Likes it Wet FTW!!

[silver03cobra]

I think i need a poll...

[Mr. Austin]

Make a poll good idea!

[santa_rosa_lt1]
