The PCM sits a bit higher, so the engine cover required an extra 10cm approx added to the base. It's still with the trimmer at the moment, but will post pics later.

It Runs!

We have ignition! Here are some pics of the test run at Melbourne's famous Performance Marine. Motor sounds great (as a brand new PCM 303 should). The rear boarding platform has been restored and put...

Hi there. We picked the metal dash up via Mastercraft in the UK. I will try to find out if there are any more available. I got the impression it was a one-off lucky find.

Stars & Stripes prop

Wondering if anyone can help. I'm trying to find out the specifications (or code number?) of the prop to suit my 1982 Stars & Stripes, running a PCM 351 with Powerslot transmission. Thanks.

Progress

I do like the metal dash, as well as the Airguides. We might even look at combining the two. It would just be a matter of cutting bigger speedo holes.
Anyway, here's a pic of where the boat's up to...

OK, thanks. In which case it might be better to try to restore the wood dash. The big bulging Airguide speedos are too good to lose really. Anyone got any advice on refurbishing the current wood dash...

Thanks for the tip on the embroiding. Will talk with our trimmer about it. Those white seats look great too.

Embossed Engine Cover Material

Beautiful job on your interior. I am wondering about the embossed "Mastercraft" on the back of the engine cover. Did you recreate that, or is that the original engine cover?

Also, would love to see...

Interior advice / photos

Just wondering if anyone has got any interior photos of a boat similar to this one. This is the look we'll be going for. So probably white seats with blue piping. Blue or grey carpet. But would love...
