Thanks for the update. I've been waiting for the finished product, so keep us informed!

Hey guys, finally, the thing is done ! Next step is mounting it on the tower, installing head unit, speakers, bass box, and wirring.
To get a good sealing and nice finition, I apply a black silicone between the aluminium face and the TSB vinyl. Here are pics :

Nice boat. No tower ?

Not yet anyway. The pole gives the same result for a fraction of the price. Would be nice to have some board racks though. Eventually when I get some automotive restoration projects done I should have some play money to get a New Dimension tower, which is the only one I've seen so far looks right to my eye on the old square windshield boats.

Good work on the speaker box, looking forward to following the rest of your progress with the boat.

Thanks ! Here is the result on the tower. Just need the "Supra" text on the face and it's over.

Look great
nice work
I just need to get over this not wanting to put holes in my boat to install a tower.

Thanks Century.
I was like you with my first boat. Then you drill, and you feel better, no more scare. Anyway it's fiberglass, if you fail your drilling you can recap holes.
The tower is a real good investment : It gives a good looking to your boat, good altitude to your jumps, and save tons of place if you put racks for boards.

Today I did some more polishing. These are my driver seat's feet :

Some updates of the weekend. I glue the letters made in Komacel 3mm, with PVC glue. It seems to be a good combo. Here are pics :

I also remove the fuel tank to access the direction connector. First problem, the tank is leaking !!! I need to fix it, don't know how yet.

I'm now sure that my direction problem is the cable. But, second problem, there is no any indication on it. No label, no model, no number.

1- Can I restore it ? Remove the cable from the sheath, clean grease etc ?
2- Does anyone know what model it is, what is reference, where to buy it ?

Speaker cans look great.

Most likely the inside of the sheath has some rust or somthing like that makeing it stiff.
You can pull it apart or find a way to put some penatrating oil in the sheath and spend a lot of time working it back and forth.

If you decide to replace it give these people a try http://www.skidim.com/departments.asp?dept=1120 they helped me on some rudder packing.

I had no idea what size packing to order so I just orded both the called me the next day to make sure I got what I needed.
