Move the hole for the cabling back further, it will eliminate the harsh bend for a more natural one.
It needs to be a oval too...
I believe It's easy to take that Merc up to 200HP... I had a 175 XR6 that we turned up to 200+HP with a few mods... That boat can handle it, no problem.
It might be possible but the cost would be over around 1500 and the fuel consumption to speed ratio would be hard to compensate for? In reality you would only gain 5-8 mph...
Its looking really good. Ive restored 4 of them and its so nice to sit back when its done and say MAN i brought that back. Im now working on a 1983 glasstream 145 Delux.
What's a usual price range on restoring a boat, if you don't mind me asking? I'm trying to see something 🤔
@@CHASIN_A_BASS it depends on what you have to do to it. If the runners are bad under the floor that can take some money. When i look for a bass boat to restore make sure the transom is solid , and make sure soft spots are not big. My average id say 1500.00 to 5000.00 over the time. The glasstream im working on now id say i have 1500.00 into it right now with the new gelcoat paint job and fiberglass work ive done. With the rewiring builge pumps, live well system, sea deck type materal, switch out old motor to max power MOTOR allowed, id say it will be close to 2500.00 ITS REALY hard to tell because until you start tearing it apart things pop up that add cost.
@@lonniesimmonds2294 hmm that less than I thought actually...interesting
@@CHASIN_A_BASS i get these old boats for nothing, they are ones in the back yards for years and they want them gone
Pull the lower unit and change the water pump. Also change lower unit fluid. Before you go out!
It’s great to see all the progress that you have made.
You could just open up the hole where the throttle cables are going through. Make a bit bigger on the right side of the hole. get some rubber edging and the hole will look oem. It will remove some stress/tension on the trotthe cable and SHOULD fix your issue
on my pantera 3, there was a rope running down the sides and was stored under the fresh air pick up at the rear of the hull remove the chrome scoop and it was there made wiring easier
Awesome dude. It has been so awesome to watch this build evolve and grow. Can't wait to see it in a tournament dude!!
The best thing to do would be to oblong the hole that the cables go thru cut the hole back 2 or 3 more inches and that should help alot and or solve you problem or even 4 inches more if you want to be sure
Put the cables in a tube and cut a oval hole that the tube/PVC pipe that is going into the hull. Or you can angle the throttle with washers in the front. The seats get Allen head screws on the outside and the bolts on the inside. Paint the the Allen's and washer ro camo them in.
Deans tops and canvas in Arkansas made the majority of the seats for bass boats back in the day.if you give them the vin # they can build exactly what you want to the manufacturers specs without having to take yout boat to them.
Exactly what I did, I drove there and told them I was headed that way and they installed them same day. Seen all the Bass Cat seat's and all the other manufacturers they build for also. I've had my seat's 9 year's now and they're still in excellent condition!
You'll need to cut some relief hole or holes behind where the original hole is where the cable's currently comes out of. That way you have full throttle ability. Right now you may not be able to get up on plane. And that wouldn't look good on tourney day.
Facts!
Exciting first start!
3 blade fury in a 24p is what prop to get--- water pump fresh? lower unit full?
Like the progress and thanks for sharing. Was that 10 gauge wire you ran for the trolling motor? If so you may want to upgrade that to 6.
Agreed, don’t want to blow fuses. I wouldn’t go less than 8ga
For 400 more you could've had Bass Cat factory seat's from Dean's Top and Canvas in Mtn home Arkansas. They are who has made all the seats for Ranger, Bass Cat and Cobra boats back in the day.
I wish. I tried that route. Would’ve been $1k with shipping and at that time it was like a SUPER long wait. So I went with these
Could you use a rubber washer on the back of the seat to help keep moister out?
Any metal you add, brackets, hinges, etc... get some stainless steel or at least some galvanized stuff, or else it will rust in a heart beat, and nothing is sadder than seeing all your hard work rust away :(
Stainless steel is a must. I thought the same. Looked like a galvanized bracket. If you need some Stainless steel part holla at me.
That boat is turning out really nice
Can't go wrong with a Mercury
I hope you're gonna do the dashboard next, even though it wouldn't really makes sense as the livewells aren't done yet. Why? Because I need to do it too and I need motivation! xD
cut the hole a bit bigger so they fit better, then make a aluminum cover so it wont show the ugly hole
Was that bucs first appearance?
My seats were the way you have yours done. The back was attached to the bottom and the whole seat was the lid.
Can't wait to see that thing on pad!!
Is it just me or is the motor idling really high
Ugh I gotta back and catch up lol
My guy! I’ve been watching this series since day 1. Fast forward over a year and I actually stumbled on a heck of a boat on marketplace for super cheap! Guess what the boat was? A 1997 BassCat Pantera II! Also white, I bought it and I’m in the process of giving it a makeover. How coincidental is that?!
Bro send me some pics on Instagram! That’s so sick haha
@@TightlineTV yes sir, I’ll hit you up tomorrow.
Is there a reason your not using marine wire ?
Congratulations bro
Thanks bro 👊🏻
Tiny boat nation customer service is probably one of the worst to work with. Just saying.
😂 😂😂
Enjoy it
I've missed a few episodes, so I'm asking where have you moved to? You were in Ohio, then Nebraska, now.............?
I was in Ohio, went to Nebraska to work with flair for a bit and now I’m back
Seemed like idle was far too high. Ive got the same motor and same year purrs like a kitten and plenty strong for a 150
It’s just blowing wireless mic out haha. It sounds a lot more calm in person
Take it out before the tournament! If theirs something wrong then you can adjust. Your tournament is not the time to work on your boat,cause you have to rip them lips! This is my opinion an I’m sticking to it!! Great video love your dog an I’m out!
Cut the haul until it straightens out, then make a shield protector for it to cover it 👍 nice video
Thanks!
