Had a little tongue weight issue to work out
It didn't have any....
the point of balance was perfectly neutral
so got that figured out and fixed last nite
should pull great now

 

[OldSkool]

Yes in deed 60 - 40 should do it Jim.

 

[moparlvr4406]

I'm not at 60/40 but it pulled good anyway
the way I fixed it was ...
I took a 25lb Weider steel weight from a buddy's barbell set....
cut a notch in the edge...
painted it glossy white...
bought a 5/8" grade 8 bolt and poly lock nut...
and bolted it inside the rim of the spare tire :lol:
works great and you really don't notice it is even there :smt043

Awesome fix!

I think so...hillbilly ingenuity :wink:

 

[moparlvr4406]

and got the insides cleaned up and waxed
short minor details she is ready for a trip south

 

[moparlvr4406]

now the question comes...
for the trip to Knoxville...
Roll down with the road cover on to keep her clean
or run with it off and watch people stare at it :grin:

 

[Big Island Lifer]

I would cover but only if you can guarantee that it won't be flapping in the wind an damage your fine shine.

Looks great - let people stare. You don't have to worry about any wind /cover damage then too. Small and easy enough to polish up once you on-site.
Have Fun ! :thumbsup:

Leaving tomorrow (Wed.) for the Homecoming. Looking forward to seeing your boat. Have a safe trip. I'll be coming down I-75 from Mi. and I'll be the one taking my time!

She has made the first leg of the journey to Knoxville
first time I have towed her at highway speed since assembled
and she towed great,,sitting bright and proud in front of my workplace for the day.

 

[moparlvr4406]

Well this will probably be my last installment on this thread short a run down the water
won "most unique" award at Knoxville.
here are some final pics

 

[Pietro]

"most unique" ...what does it mean??? :smt013 You should have got a prize for the restoration only!

Anyway, you should be proud of your vintage beauty and thak you for the report!

 

[ncwitte]

Jim, it looks absolutely fabulous. Congrats on the win, which was well-deserved! You must be very proud of how it came out.

I hope you do post a few more pictures of it in the water. I'd love to see her with some spray coming off the bow.

Well done.
