The pump is out and on the work bench.  I took a shot at removing the impellor nut and no luck, that thing was on the solid.  So I used heat next and still nothing, even with a huge breaker bar and 3/4 drive socket.  I had no choice but to do a little surgery and you can see the result, Winning!  Now to figure out how to pull the imp. with out killing it.  Does anyone local have the imp puller I can borrow or ideas on how to make one?

I soaked it in WD40 for the past few days and was able to pull it with my 2 jaw.  Looks like the I'm in need of an impellor, mine has some issues with the casting that I'm sure is not normal.  I'll post pics of it to get other opinions.

So the pump is torn down and my rebuild kit came today so looks like that's the last major component to go through and it will be river time!  Glad to get a new imp with this thing cause the old one wasn't going to last very long the way it was.

Alternator is in and just need to do a little clean up on the mounts.  Everything is wired and ready to fire, hope to run the cam in and set timing this weekend.

Finally got the wet sanding and polish done this weekend and here are a few shots, hard to believe that this is the same boat that I brought home.  The flake and gel came back great and it sparkles in the sun now like it should, just need to finish the pump and get it to the water.

Update! Made a few trips so far, boat runs great.  Still have some tweeks to do but this thing is solid, even had a copilot.

Thanks, just about everything has been replaced by now and it's been a solid boat.  I'm sure you'll dig your's once all the bugs are worked out, you have a great hull to work with.
