Double Eagle 185 Build

Looks great. Do you have any plans to cover that electronics compartment with anything to protect it from rain/salt/fish debris?

U bet. Working on a cover w/ a couple access hatches

 

[Oscar162]

Just enough access to keep an eye on things/ reach batt switch…. Panel will come out easy w/ 6 bolts. DPI hatches and gelcoat next…

Putting some composite deck boards to good use…. Came up with a simple solution to keep my catch out the bilge water, with the ability to remove easily to clean things up . This is way more fun than itchy-butt glassing .

do you plan on using the bilge as a fish storage area ?

It’s big enough to throw a big cooler bag in there… that’s the idea.

Look at the shine in the off the gel oat behind the controls, beauty job! Really enjoying the time and patience you and Dan J are putting into your rebuilds, well done.

Both of yours and Dans boats look awesome, it’s awesome building everything yourself and getting it just how you want it. I like the rod/net holder on the wall too.

It’s paint not gelcoat. Love the access hatches. I was going to ask if the batteries would fit through but I guess being able to remove the panel easily it doesn’t matter. Great job!

Cranked up the heat and got rear panel finished up… eva for a gasket, will come out easy with 4 bolts…

 

[Oscar162]

Headliner and interior/ deck lights close to being wrapped up…

 

[Gong Show]

Slick!

 

[DanJ]

Looking awesome.

 

[Aquaholic]

You gave "raise the roof" a whole new meaning.

 

[Oscar162]

Sorted side alum cubby… and a recycled footrest. Will get a drop curtain at some point to pretty things up.

Nice work!

Looking good Owen!

 

[Bifmalibu]

Man you're doing a great job. That first dock rash is gonna hurt!

 

[Oscar162]

Finished up the headliner…. And got the bulk of the helm area sorted. Just need to source a smart gauge, and will add fuel gauges. Press on…

 

[Oscar162]

Attempted to fire the main the other day… turned over but no go. Traced the prob after not hearing the hp fuel pump at start up. Dropped in new pump/ filters and gave the fuel rail/ injector’s a good clean - fired up today . Bled the steering… both helms work great. Back to hull sanding….

You need a racor and fuel treatment bro!
