Executed a comprehensive powertrain and chassis overhaul of a legacy Yamaha G16 platform. The project involved the removal of the OEM 300cc engine in favor of a high-output 420cc Big Block. To accommodate the increased torque and physical footprint, I designed and fabricated custom motor mounts and integrated a performance lift kit to ensure driving stability at a 25mph top speed. The build concluded with a full aesthetic restoration, including custom bodywork and paint, merging industrial-grade mechanical design with high-end finishing. 

Executed a rapid-timeline structural and aesthetic modernization of a 1991 Stingray bowrider. The project’s core technical challenges included the removal of legacy flooring and the installation of new structural decking, followed by fiberglass lamination to ensure hull integrity. Beyond the structural scope, I re-engineered the rear bench seating for improved ergonomics and updated the interior to a modern aesthetic. As my foundational marine project, this build established my expertise in composite repair and rapid-cycle project management.

This foundational project involved a comprehensive forensic teardown and rebuild of a high-performance marine powerplant. Originally acquired for minor maintenance, the diagnosis revealed a catastrophic failure of the rotating assembly, including a sheared connecting rod. I executed a complete engine rebuild, including the installation of a new crank and rods, alongside a full aesthetic overhaul featuring custom paint and interior upholstery. Although the project was eventually lost to a third-party collision, it served as the critical catalyst for my expertise in internal combustion diagnostics and high-tolerance mechanical assembly.
