I as well dropped the ball and forgot to measure. I'll be back down soon, but Kevin will beat me to it.

Yes please.Sorry Tim. I forgot to measure... Twice in-fact. So measure between the two sumbrella side rails?
Hi Tim,Yes please.
Tim, Just thought of something. I think our 90 350 might perhaps have a different front canvas configuration than that of yours.Yes please.
Great news! About time to get to dressing and then be boat riding before you know it. What do you think caused her forward unit to freeze? Lack of flow?Update on progress and or set back.
1) received word from Michigan Motors that engines are on-site undergoing mercruiser paint and serial number issuing.
2) All accessory brackets that once attached as 3/8" on heads of Mark IV 454's are now 7/16" on 454, Gen VI. I purchased a reamer to open up attachment holes. Looks like a total of 12 holes in all to wallow out. I've done three and exhausted as one is an inch thick.
3) Reverse cycle heat froze up today. (No water was emitting from forward berth water exit). Only the aft a/c exit. Thought at first it might be plugged but once accessed I noted frozen under V-Berth bed.
4) Mounted a/c re-circulation march pump permanently on newly built shelf. Bled system
5) Re-installed the re-upholstered 3 dash panels trim pieces. Went with white. Not happy with upholstery shop work.
6) finished setting up 3 40% TNT charges in place. cabin, engine compartment and deck. Running out of money. Back up plan just in case.
Sounds different then ours. Just received an email from company that had provided solar to similar boat. Will be going with those panals as planned. Thks for looking. Very cold here today and lots of snow. 12 weeks to launch.Tim, Just thought of something. I think our 90 350 might perhaps have a different front canvas configuration than that of yours.
Our boat doesn't have side rails but rater large side to side bows that raise up the the front canvas the gap is filled with eising glass attached from windshield frame to forward most bow with zippers to form whats considered a camper enclosure. Is this the same as your configuration?
Hard to determine what I need to do on brackets until engines arrive.Great news! About time to get to dressing and then be boat riding before you know it. What do you think caused her forward unit to freeze? Lack of flow?
Very exciting, @send a pic when unwrapped..I tracked my new ordered long blocks. They're 5 miles away and ready for pickup after 12:00PM.
Shipment shows as 1180lbs 2 pieces.
Adrenaline flowing and so ready to get new engines back in boat and running.
Yeah, Lucky us. Your probably not listening to screaming police/rescue sirens 24/7.minus 7 C today and more snow. attached pic is out our backdoor to our deck.
you guys are lucky......
Nice work,Updated head unit, cut a 1/2 acrylic panel to fit in the trim and cover the old VCR/head unit holes up.
Hey Tim, we're thinking of moving up around the Midland area for Georgian Bay boating as retirement approaches but after looking at all that snow...but then, cant boat much sooner on Erie either, lol!minus 7 C today and more snow. attached pic is out our backdoor to our deck.
you guys are lucky......
We live on Georgian Bay and are subject to a lot of snow because of our location. In the big water not so much ice, hence the snow. As far as boating is concerned I often hear from many loopers that Georgian Bay offers the best boating they have ever enjoyed. Only complaint from them is everything is rock under the water. So alot of anxiety for most of them. Needless to say you must chart carefully and watch for markers, even home made ones that can be a white javex bottle attached to a cement block that someone has marked after they encountered a piece of granite. Launch date is somewhere around end of April to early May, depending when the ice leaves the bay. Boat is out by October 31st at the latest.Hey Tim, we're thinking of moving up around the Midland area for Georgian Bay boating as retirement approaches but after looking at all that snow...but then, cant boat much sooner on Erie either, lol!
Custom Boat Works in Bradenton, FL. I shot him the exact measurements and he cuts it with a CNC. Guy name Henry owns the place, great guy. I have bought some other panels from him for customers boats.Nice work,
Where did you source the Acrylic?
Yes sir, I believe those are correct. I am going to install a set here in a couple months when I haul out for my bottom paint. So ready for summer!G'day fellas, just lookin at the ice on the river near N shore of Lake Erie...boating seems a long way off...(sigh)...
We got ours in 2018, lovin it! Nothing like pulling into a nice calm bay, inflating the 6 person Fiest Island floaty and putting on the tunes!
We did the same as a couple of you guys...took the back bench out and just use nice folding chairs, I like to look down below frequently....
Say, Lastcall, I'm looking at the PYI PSS drip less seal, for 1 1/4" shaft, 2 1/2" stern tube, 6 1/2" compressed length...sound like the right ones? Boat tucked away right now....
