Stratos Pro 285 project boat update
Started going over the project boat and only found 2 minor issues, the first was where someone, at sometime , had done some creative grinder work allowing the top cap to separate from the hull at the transom ( Still scratching my head on that one ) and it created a gap right where the engine mounts. To remedy this problem I removed the flimsy aluminum trim piece and replaced it with a piece of 1.5 x 1.5 x 1/8 stainless angle , then used a 3in ratchet strap to crank everything back in place ( it turned out great I think ).Attachment 236491Attachment 236492

The second problem if found was one of the livewell recirculation pumps was completely broken off the live well, so I decided to just replace all of the pumps and hoses that attached to them, I used 800gph livewell pumps ( I hate a slow filling livewell ) and clear vinal hoses, I also went ahead an added a automatic 500gph bilge pump, and am going to replace the original bilge pump ( 500gph ) with a 1200gph bilge pump.
