A few boat mods underway...25 Contender

[offshore]

I headed up the road today to Finaddict Marine to pick up the standing platform Brown machined for the crows nest. I also stopped by Modilns to have the Outrigger Holder mounting plates welded to the crows nest. While I was there at Modlins Welding Keith gave me a sneak peek at a new design for a leaning post they are going to start making. I thought it was a really nice design and not a ordinary look for a leaning post. This is just the frame with no cushions,rod holders or storage box. They are going to show it at the Raleigh boat show in January.

earlier I went and had the outrigger holder plates welded then went and picked up the Standing platform.

Here are a few photos of tonight's work.
A Few weeks ago I was on Ebay looking for outrigger standoffs. Instead of Outrigger Standoffs I found a set of Lees Outrigger Holders new they run About $385.00 a set. The starting bid was $20 plus shipping. Well I bid $20 and won the bid!!
When I got them and cleaned them up they looked like brand new right off the shelf. Now that was a good find. Anyway I dry fit them tonight with the outriggers.




I also installed the standing platform Brown @ Finaddict Marine Machined for me. I put on the SeaDek before the install.

I had a chance to work on the boat tonight after work. I did a little rearranging and finished wiring all the components. The only thing left to do now is put the starboard panel back under the t-top, attach the wires to the external speaker, Pu the new camera mount bracket under the t-top. and put the curtains back on. A few more hours and she will be ready to go back on the lift!!
A few photos from tonight.

Thanks Dave. I will be bringing her back the week after Christmas. Today, still winding down the wiring! Reinstalled the External vhf speaker, the power cord for the pan and tilt video camera mount, and the starboard underpinning for the t-top...
