Terry,
Added fore and aft to my favorites list. Thanks again for the education. Still, vertical protrusions from the transom resulting in less drag seems counterintuitive. Never saw that right angle mount for a drill before. Volvo says the QL is good to 50 knots. Is that fast enough for the 21? Sounds like you've been running it. The transom enclosure looks good.

I'm thinking that's fast enough for any SeaCraft......jeeeeez.

I think Bones hit 62 with that worked Merc. I think it dyno`d at 230 something. That and 12x 18 tabs leaves little hull in the water.

50 knots is 57.54 MPH. Sounds like it could be close. I think the flames add 1-2 MPH.

Everything being done on the 21 is sort of non descriptive...drilling holes patching holes drilled wrong and sanding.

Today I was going to do another test run on the boat

however it has been raining all day here in Sunny FLA.

So I did a small project that give you the sense of accomplishment and does not take to much time and the results are exactly what you expected.

Needed a drawer for the phone wallet and misc. junk...

Cutting in a hole in a place that I filled a hole before [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Insert the frame

Drawer

Just what I wanted

Still Plenty of room under V-Bunk

Still need to get a few thru hulls in and then take it all apart so I can finish up before getting it primed and painted.

When restoring a boat (actually) rebuilding a boat one forgets about the Misc. $$ spent.

$35.00

This is for rod holders, fuel and water fills only.

Truer words have never been spoken. The odds and ends can easily wind up being 30-40% of the project.

100's of trips to the local hardware store for sand paper. acetone,gloves, ss bolts,screws, mold building supplies, and much much more.....Oh and I almost forgot to figure in the cost of fuel for all that wasted time driving around looking for stuff

Yeah, the SS fasteners add up quickly, especially if you buy them at the local hardware store or Home Depot. And likely as not, they'll be 18-8 stainless, not the 316 stainless you want for salt exposure. I try to anticipate the fasteners I'm going to need and order them from Marsh Fasteners. Even with shipping, they're less than half what I'd pay locally.
