A client from Tennessee has asked us to complete a full restoration of his 1996 Supra La Brisa. We're looking forward to working on this boat, since it is a little bit different from our typical restoration boats. Just wait and see what we are able to do with this vessel. It will be impressive.
Here are some photos taken before the boat arrived at our facility. We'll get more posted here soon.
Follow along in the comments below as we complete this restoration. I suggest sorting the comments so that the oldest are displayed first. That way, as you scroll through, the comments will be displayed in chronological order, and this will show a timeline of the work as it is completed.
The refreshed GT-40 engine was put in place today for a test fit. We may need to modify the shaft a little bit due to the placement of this engine as compared to the original engine, but we'll get it taken care of. This will be a great engine for this boat!
As you can see, the dripless packing gland has also been installed. That will be a nice improvement for this boat.
Steering cable has been run, twin blowers are installed, bilge pumps are in, fuel line is in, control cables have been run. Progress.....
Bilge is being painted today. It is looking much better!
I always say, there's nothing like a brand new dual taper prop shaft!
Ok, maybe I don't always say that, but I should. These things are great. Excellent quality as always from our friends at Elbert's, and as usual, this one came with a new key and a new prop nut. This Supra is going to be riding smooth and dry (now that we can install the dripless packing gland on this shaft that is actually in spec!).
This is the original fuel filter canister that was installed by the factory in 1996. I wish I had a "before" picture, but here's how it looks after being thoroughly cleaned and refurbished (including new paint in the original colors) by our team. Of course, it is also getting a new filter element. It is the little things that make the difference!
