1991 XB2002 restore

[Clarkb]

Just going to post some pics and details on my adventure of restoring my new to me XB2002. Feel free to give me suggestions, as I will probably have a few questions.
Trying this from my iPhone(if nothing shows up, I'll post pics from home)

What I've done so far:

-Replaced all plumbing and pumps for bilge, aerator, and fill pumps(had to pull the tank)
-Replaced the hull drain insert. (Old one was pitted up)
-Replaced all gauges and put in a depth finder
- Fixed all the wiring/replaced main switch panel and switches, front troll plate and switches, made the inspection plate for the transducer out of carbon fiber(just because)
-Ordered all new rod locker latches
-pulled all the carpet and ordered new from Bill(charcoal w/blue border)
-Currently sanding/scraping old glue off.
-Ordered custom engine cowl decals for the fresh 225 PM going on it
-Ordered new bench seat and driver seat cover

Plan on tackling the power head swap this weekend (injectors sent to get flowed)

Apparently my phone will only upload one pic at a time. Or I'm doing something wrong

It will all be worth it in the end, when you get to back her down in the water and turn heads. Keep the pics coming!

Nice work! Not much feels better than fixing up these awesome boats. I put a fresh shine on mine today. Can't take it out without getting compliments on the old girl.:big grin
