1969 Build Progress

[Bluecraft]

It has been a while since my last post, I have been busy on the boat I have all of my hardware, stereo (Fusion UD 750), amp (Jl audio M Series 800 Watt), speakers (4 Jl audio M880s with blue led going to hurt your ears hehe), and two ocean led underwater lights, custom glove box from boat outfitters, as well as custom console door and anchor locker door from boat outfitters. I decided to go with all Gemlux Boltless rod-holders, there will be 10, 15 degree rodholders placed around the boat 4 30 degree swivel rodholders for deep dropping and swording as well as 4, 0 degrees for storage in the transom. I cut all of the holes before it went off to paint. Painting the hull with Awlgrip Light Gray and the topsides snow white, will be leaving the covering boards gloss no non-skid for the clean look. Currently contemplating doing an all teak deck will be last to go in depending on final number into the boat.

Just an FYI, my buddy in Thunderbolt, Ga, refurbed a Bertram Bahia Mar back to all her original glory. I believe it was a 1966/2016 almost back to factory quality and in Fighting Lady Yellow. It was to be his end all/be all retirement day boat. Everything was perfect, except he put in a full teak cockpit sole. To say it was Beautiful was an understatement. However, after one season he decided to sell. I’m sure the sun is stronger there than here, but he and his girlfriend could not walk barefoot in the boat!!! Something to think about. The boat now resides on a lake in the mountains north of San Francisco, provided it survived the recent fires. Just a thought.

Vezo, Part II thanks for the input, will definitely consider along with the price when all is said and done. If it is out of budget might go wit faux or the seadek.

The boat was stuck in paint for a while to say the least, but the painter is a perfectionist. While the boat was in paint we put in the order for a new trailer. I got the boat back last week and swapped trailers and put in the rub-rail along with all of the gemlux boltless rod holders, cleats, hinges, latches, and hatches. I decided to go with gemlux friction hinges and compression latches and they complement each other perfectly. I picked up a garmin 7612xsv to put in and it takes up the entire console. Probably have another month before its done.

I have a 1968 19' Seacraft that was fully redone, but nowhere near the quality you are putting into this. Where did you get the console? What size fuel tank?


I'm in Jupiter, so maybe I'll see you on the water.
