I bought this EX FWC Mako 251 last December and work has kept me from being able to make any real progress on her. I met with Heath, the owner of HHH Boatworks in Homestead Florida and we came up with a plan of attack. The good news is that I weighted the boat and trailer at the Cat Scale and will be able to see the difference before and after the rebuild. The weight was 8440lbs (Boat, Trailer, HPDI's, and 180 gal of Fuel).
The plan:
Remove Cap
Replace stringer (full height, Foam core)
Replace and enclose transom (Foam core)
Replace deck (Flat deck, no wood)
Remove inner liner (Support top cap I.E 3 piece boat)
Replace fuel tank ( 151 gal Cap)
Strip bottom paint ( VC epoxy hull bottom)
Strip decks and top sides ( Repaint)
Add flotation bracket
Plumb deck for 40 gal Leaning post/ livewell
Replace Cpak console ( Console w/o front seat)
Repower (Single Suzuki 300)
Heath will be documenting the entire rebuild with photos as he does with all of the complete rebuilds that he does. I will keep the board updated on the progress. Heath is a great guy and has thus far been very reasonable and honest with me. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in the south Florida region, check his website out at www.HHHboatworks.com
My twin HPDI 200's are also going up for sale in the near future, If you are interested feel free to get in touch with me.

Work Started bright and early the next day:
Goodbye Cpak!
