Thanks for all the nice comments! I really appreciate it. BayouBengal, I think that is why I won the trophy. I had her sit in the boat all day!

Here are a few more photos. Skip

My wife and I attended the 35th annual Hill Country Boat show in Horseshoe Bay, TX this past weekend and took the Monaco for its first boat show. There were about 30 boats there, including a few fiberglass ones. It is an ACBS event, but it was not officially judged. The members present were asked to...

Looking real nice Chris! Skip

Congratulations on your successful launch! Hope to see a video of it someday. Beautiful boat. Skip

It's coming together, Carl! Good progress. Skip

What a great video! Thanks for sharing this with all of us. Nothing is better than seeing a dream come true. Skip

Bob, it is good to hear that the impeller lasts longer than 1 year. I will most likely follow the PCM maintenance schedule just to be safe. I will keep the one I pulled out as a spare, but when it is time to replace it I will buy a new one. My engine has both a conventional water pump for the antifr...

Thanks for all the great comments. I do manage to stay dry in the captain's chair! The only time I get wet is if I slow down too quickly in the swells, so that doesn't happen anymore. The girls were enjoying themselves in the back. For some odd reason Mary was the only one who got a little wet on th...

Little update: I managed to remove all the old fuel and replaced the two fuel filters. While I was at the dealer getting the filters I talked to them about the water pump impeller. They suggested it be replaced every year even if the boat hasn't been used. Since my engine is 2 years old now, but onl...

Thanks for the downloads jenko. There is a lot of info in them. I have no error codes showing on my malfunction light. I was hoping to be able to hook up my OBDII reader to the engine but no such luck. It has a different diagnostic connector and is not compatible with OBDII. I pulled the fuel contro...

Thanks for all the replies! I don't think it is vapor lock because the engine has a fuel control cell that is designed to eliminate it and usually with vapor lock the engine won't run at all. Jenko, I do have a pressure gauge, so I will definitely be using it to check on the fuel pressure. Bob, the ...

FINALLY got the boat out again. It has been over 6 months since my initial launch and I let too many things get in the way that prevented me from getting it back in the water. Well today was the day and had an interesting experience that I need help with. Pulled the boat out of the shop yesterday an...

Excellent progress! Very, very nice. Skip

Ditto what Pete and vupilot said! Wow...just can't imagine ever taking on a project like this, but sure am glad to see someone who is, and someone willing to share it with the rest of us. Great job Steve! Skip
