Hey guys thanks for the help really appreciate it. Got the old paint off and the bottom of the hull wet sanded turned out great, the top deck will require a lot more sanding before i know whether I can save the gelcoat there, it's really rough. Any suggestions on engines and radio controls, and are clutches an option? Thanks appreciate your input, oh and of course the budget is tight still paying for the big toy.

The bad news is the pair of amps outdrives I bought got lost in the mail, so back to square one if anyone sees any for sale please let me know. I need a pair. also can the rotation on them be changed or do I have to by them left and right.
Thanks Chris

Thanks Chris

you can take a outdrive and make it counter rotate . but you have to be careful taking them apart . the best way is to heat them up in the oven to break away the glue . DO NOT use plliers to pull it apart .. all you have to do is flip the gear the other way hope this helps

Luckily the motors and outdrives were just rebuilt right before I bought it in Feb.but being a 28 yr old boat I have a ton of work to do to get it where I want it . My previous boat was a 1985 302 sr1 that I had just finished going over top to bottom,  then I saw the 402 and here we go again   I must be insane.

Status: offline 		Special K   I'll get some pics of the swim platform it's made out of some 3/8 quarter round teak trim I got at west marine and through bolted with #40 brass all thead. I also made the radar arch out of 1/4' marine plastic lumber I got at west marine then cut it  put it in the oven and formed it.  The trailer was pretty easy it's 1' aluminum c channel for the side rails, and 3/4" square tube for the cross rails and 2 3/4 model plane wheels.   aluminum all from home depot.
Those lights are way too big ,  scale should be about 7/8" long  I found a site i'm getting ready to order a bunch of items including the nav lights, deck cleats and a bunch of other items all real close to scale look and size I"ll let you know when i get them in. their website is www.mackproductsrc.com
