So the big move back East has sucked up a bunch of boat time. I have been pecking away at a few things here and there, but today I finally got some time to get my floor started. Back in TX I had picked up some thermally modified ash wood from a local habitat for humanity. I used some on a vanity I made for our remodel and really love the tone of the wood. I am not sure how well it'll hold up in a boat, but it is used for decking and the thermal modification is to increase its weather resistance. It was pretty short money so I took a gamble. It'll look good for at least the first year

For those interested, here is a link to the solid state rectified I purchased to replace the original one.

Dang!!! She's gorgeous Marc. Thank you so much for your talents and efforts. I can't wait to collect her and get her home and attached to the Vagabond.
I'll definitely post pics of it once installed and video of it running. Feeling very lucky.

Thanks Rick. Yes original disk is just for looks, I have a small off the shelf rectifier bolted below the disk on the mounting bracket. Jeff bought the updated unit, so if your looking for a part number I'm sure he could be more of an assistance.

That's gorgeous Marc! Looks like another 'faux rectfier'? What are you using for the charging system?
Never make the mistake of thinking that you know everything about anything.

Well I'd like to say this motor is finished. Jeff and his wife Liz will be able to enjoy years of vintage boating, "in style too".
This powerhead has been balanced & blueprinted and certainly is not a stock Merc anymore. This motor will spin 7000 RPMs from stock of 5200 RPMs, with no loss of idling performance. Jeff will catch anyone's attention idling at the dock with this DEEP Merc growl. Here's a before picture first....
