Got carried away today, SSLXI Interior Rehab

[Slayer]

Nice....Your boat is going to be like new when you're done with this. Without question, Chee is the man!!

[Steve B.]

Wow ! This looks like an incredible project. Thanks boz.

With this nice relaxed attention to detail, your boat may well be better than new.

I needed the infamous netting that goes along the sides. I know I have seen discussions on here where no one can find this stuff. Turns out Chee has it.

I can't wait to see this thing done!

[Bozboat]

Here is the new floor piece with the carpet and ozite on it.

Picked up a pile of stuff today. All of the cushions are done. Waiting on the netting from Chee to finish the side pieces, then all that is left is the doghouse, the trunk lid, the bow bolsters, the captains chair, and the misc parts

That's pretty funny. I should be able to keep up the slow steady pace for awhile. It's a lot slower putting it back than it was taking it all out. One thing I will miss is looking at all the cool cars at the shop. Everytime I drop in, its something better. There is something special about Cragars and BF Goodrich Radial TAs

Figured out that you need to put the floor in over the gas tank before you install the wrap around couch. So today I removed Couch, ran the blower hose, put the floor in over the gas tank and then put the couch back in.

Yep, it holds that stern light on a long pole

[Bozboat]

and more Cragars and Radial TAs. I had a set of Cragars on my first car, they are one of my favorites.

So jealous of that rear locker......

The emoticon doesn't do your post justice!

[tvano]

have any problems w those clips for the anchor light barking boards or just being in the way?

i needed to move the clips because the rear seat base has never been in my dd.

the 1/4"x20 studs that secure the side interior panels up under the gunnels turned into a perfect place to mount that anchor light.

out of the way, not visible and easy to access.

Great idea

Cant wait to see the finished product.

I haven’t been on the forums in awhile (sold and now building a new home) but this is a great post.

Thanks for sharing the project.

[Bozboat]

I got another box from Chee today. This one contained the netting that goes along the bottom of the side panels. Bungee cord along the top.

[REW]

This is going to be a new boat when you are done.

[Bozboat]

I picked up a side piece today and the trunk lid. I should be able to install the side piece and a couple other pieces this weekend.

[Bozboat]

I'm working on installing pieces. There are three pieces along the port side. Here is the side panel, vey tight fit between the side panel and couch and side panel and front bolster. It may turn out ok if I crank down on it, before I try that I may try to install them in a different order.

I did get the trunk lid installed and it fits nicely.

Good place for a nap

Also need to figure out the latch

man that is beautiful. Give us an idea of total budget when you are finished adding up the receipts. I am really wanting to do this to mine in a year or two.

[martinarcher]

That truck is so freaking awesome.....makes me want to bust out some fiberglass and add another two feet to the Sunsetter.

The thought had crossed my mind, as well. Then I think logistics and search for a SSLXi or RLXi online.

Once of the beast features of the SSLXI!

Still one of those boats I wished they'd still make.

Great rebuild!
