RipTide Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Now that's funny. 80BF, It's alot of work isn't it? Love your rear bait/release well. Man, I could take a bath in that thing. How many gallons will that thing hold? Eventually your TO-DO list with end and your rig will be on the water with a smiling Capt. Keep up the good work. :thumbup: :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 bonefisher Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Getting ready to put the above deck fuel tank back in. The original size fuel line from the tank to the seperator was 5/8". Seems to big. We are putting a 115 E-tec on it and not sure if the fuel pump will pull fuel through a 5/8 line. Any thoughts? Also looking for the original decal design for a 1980 Bonefisher 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 bonefisher Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Finally started on the cap. Chiseled out all the old wood and started grinding and grinding down to bare gl***. We will start laying it up this week with new 3/4 marine ply and 2 layers of 7208. Can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel!

80 bonefisher Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 When we first started demolition on our boat there was a piece of 2x4 gl***ed in the top rear of the bait well boxes. They were rotted so we removed them. Does anyone know what pupose they served? They were mounted above the trim tab cylinder bolts on so I don't think it was for the tabs. Any ideas?

dutch6575 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 i have seen the 2x4 piece in the sponsons used as trolling motor mounts in old pictures. http://www.mbcforum.com/attachment.php?attid/5622/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 bonefisher Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 That explains them. TJ from TNT Custom Boat Works hooked us up with a new 34 gallon tank. Should have it in by the weekend then the cap goes back on.

squidmotion Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 looks nice! question: i'm curious as to what type of paint they paint it with... also, will you be able to get to the vent hose and jazz from inside when the cap goes on? or does this one go under the sole? reason i ask, sometimes you might need to get to the back side of the tank vent where it goes through the hull... those things sometimes get knocked off, like mine did once at a dock... funny, i think the tank in my old boat was made by TNT.

80 bonefisher Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 They powder coated the tank. There will be 6-7" between the cap and the deck to allow access to the vent. The vent we are using is a flush mount so only 1/8" sticks out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 bonefisher Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Well we finally finished filling and sanding and got the inside of the boat primered today.It looks so much better one color! Will knock this down with 150 then spray the final coat of awlgrip 545 primer and then 320. Hopefully putting color on next weekend.

80 bonefisher Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Finished sanding the primer with 150 and shot a coat of Alwgrip 545 then sanded that with 320.Painted the rear boxes and the anchor locker first. Rolled and tipped to get a thicker coat. Shot 3 coats of matterhorn white on the rest of the interior. Cap goes on tuesday night then we we flip it and start the bottom. All the flat deck surfaces will get another coat of paint with non-skid after we finish the bottom.. Steadily getting there.

oldsalt Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Nice! I like the access hatch in the console. Wish MBC would have thought of that when they built them. Thinking seriously of making one on the port side of mine. I have the jump seat built in so, I can't go from the bow side. Can't wait for the hull shots. Great work.
