New to me Gordon Waterman 18 owner here. I wanted to show off my new sled and start a thread so I can put all my mod/upgrades in one place and keep everything orderly.
The boat is 2005 Gordon Waterman 18 and is hull #8 built under Toms guidance.
Yamaha 70TLR 2-smoke
Mods so far:
Planned upgrades:
Will be taking this boat to Tom at the Skiff Shop and having the non skid and slicks redone in a new color. Tossing around the idea of having the side hatches being reconfigured to open front to back instead of inside to outside for ease of access while the boats on the trailer as well as having the rear bulkhead glassed flush where the live well is between the benches. Longer term plans is to have the metal pieces powder coated black.
This Chittum is the color scheme I'm leaning towards. Classic but modern as the same time 😎

Mods so far:
- Vmarine suicide knob cap.
- trailer rewire.
- paracord wrapped steering wheel.
- 4-color Scandvik under gunnel lights. These are sweet. Goes to a single throw switch and will alternate colors each time you flip the switch.
- added aluminum tab on poling platform for puck style anchor light.
- moved GPS over on blue point customs console tray extension and added the most important upgrade... SS cupholder for cold ones.
- New bolt on bench and backrest cushions on the way from New Moon Upholstery.
