The unicorn will sell. Yt knows the market price on that. Again. Labor is your enemy. I think 3k for each big item.
Vid of engine and drive working and dated before removal and compression test done before also. And a engine scan will help.

Sorry, you mean the glass arch? Noob here
Re: 263....replacing interior....anyone done it?
Yes he means the arch. It's a unicorn for anyone wanting to install one. Almost impossible to find one. I bought one from a boat a guy was parting out.TechieTechie wrote: Mon Apr 15, 2019 6:50 amSorry, you mean the glass arch? Noob here![]()
And it's not glass. Its actually aluminum covered in gelcoat.

YT is the opposite of an arch nemesis...he’s our arch hero!
Enjoy the read in that thread tx2.
And yes, you are correct. The transom is glassed composite. No wood there.

Re: 263....replacing interior....anyone done it?
So, spoke to wonderful Rick at the factory. They do, in fact, have some instructions on how to construct/deconstruct the cabin that he is going to send me...along with the model of the portlights.
He did say it was rare, but they do hear of some instances of where the portlight seals have failed. And that he's never heard of a structural hull failure for that, but the lights may need to be ground out and rebed.
Am going to sleep on this one.

Yes it would. Unlike some other slacker that was supposed to post instructions....

Re: 263....replacing interior....anyone done it?
Is there a technical section to the site or a mod to whom I should send the doc?
Re: 263....replacing interior....anyone done it?
