Had never seen this thread so I have just gone through the progression of the BCB. Amazing!
Great thread and need the finishing pics on the water!
Hope God continues to safeguard your health!

I'd like to think that when I ever do retire, I would have plenty of time to do things like what you'll just accomplished but that will never happen. The amount of labor and patience you guys put into this project is awesome. You'll did a beautiful job. Go fishing!

I just recently got my Triton TR21 all back together after redoing it. I went a little further though. I sanded down to the glass and repainted a different color above the rub rail and inside of boat. Had the carpet installed at Lake Fork. I did all the other work mostly by myself. Took about 8 months because I had some medical issues thrown in. It is not yet perfect but I like the looks much better now. Good luck with you kitty.

Good luck with you kitty. wow. taking her down to the glass. now that's some serious work. i can relate to the medical issues. it's a great feeling when it all starts coming back together. seems like there's always something else that would be cool to do. would love to see some pics of the work.

it's amazing what a little elbow grease and some 1000 grit wet sandpaper will do to 21 year old wheels. Hey BassCat dad: all you did to these wheels was wet sand with 1000 grit or did you apply anything before sanding?

I love mine. Easy to dial in. did you see any change in the performance of your boat? Yes. Once I got it dialed in. Because of this setup if the day is going to be on a lake that is windy it's so easy to change motor height.
