Thanks more snaking and pull strings to do I guess.

Hello - I'm undergoing a number of overhauls in the off season, one of which involves replacing the ox66 engines with Suzuki's (on order). I just sold my original engines and this weekend and as part of that package the new owner wanted the rigging. So I removed the wiring harnesses and...

And here are the final pictures. Sorry about the delay. I was waiting on them to put on the finish end cap. I do need to order rub rail end caps. The original ones are pretty much worn out so have contacted GW to find the model. If I can't find. I'll improvise. So instead of the crappy...

Almost done.... will be done by Monday. That green fiberglass corner board is going where the aluminum cap was.

I had a 263 before my 306. Liked the boat, but I will tell you the 306 is sooo sturdy by comparison. Can have 6 guys on one side. No tilt. Good luck w/ your project.

I ordered the 250 APs - awaiting a delivery time frame now. Expect to get some rebates related to boat show pricing also. 55.3K installed w/ gauges/props/controls/rigging

They are not from what understand. I think they are still working through it. There is the cap which Grady white provides not visible in the photos. I expect they will adapt that some how. I asked about fiberglassing to the port (where you can see the old putty) and starboard edges, and he said...

A few more pictures today. The metal resting against the hydraulics is the template for engine mount holes. As mentioned before oversized holed will be filled w/ epoxy. Will line up the template against the already drilled holes in the aluminum rail which is out of sight on the front side of...

1999 Bimini 306 - 30'

One more from today. Shop was open so i stopped in. Gelcoat sprayed on. Will be sanding and adjusting as needed. Should be done by end of week

The rebuild so far. More layers to go. Things to note... The aluminum cross bar had to be sanded down and primed. The mounting holds on the aluminum cross bar will need to be reference points for where the new bolts will be drilled. There is going to need to be some coordination between...

And here's where I am.... No sign of rot in the stringers. So I am 90% committed to ordering new Suzuki 250s. Suzuki dealer will not put on 300s since boat is rated for 500. I just don't know if I will go with the 250AP or the 250T model. I have more research to do to understand the...

Update.... Boat is going indoors next week, and will get a tear down assessment. Probably have more news end of week or week after that. I have been holding off on making a decision on engines (rebuild or new) until I know the scope of work is just transom and not getting into stringers...

Thanks. I will be interested in your project also. Mine has not changed from original photo. Patience!!!

The notches were created 3 years ago when I first noticed the transom issue separation/bulge issues, but could not take on the project at that time. The notches were done because I had the engines lifted up 1 hole to hole #2. The motor bracket was touching he bracket so notched it out of the...

Thanks.

I 2nd that. I should have done that when I first saw my signs.

it will be weeks before the boat is brought inside for work to begin.

1999 GW Bimini 306 Blew starboard OX66 2 weeks ago. Piston rap. In search of replacement low hour 4 stroke 250s. Had recognized some transom signs of issue over last few seasons. Figured while engines off might as well get it repaired if possible. Here is where I am so far. Estimate 10K -...

Curious why replace with aluminum strip or vinyl strip. The aluminum as I understand it is of no value other than to cover up the lack of gelcoat which is what allows the water in over time. I have 1999 Bimini 306. Just had engines pulled because blew piston in my ox66, and need to do a full...
