Engine stand is cool, but if I didn't know any better I'd venture to say someone is missing an engine and not happy about it :sly: >:D

Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

Lol, no nobody's missing an engine. that's the rest of my old boat on the front of the trailer. I loaned out my engine stand and they arnt done with it so I figured that was the best way to transport it and store it till I get my stand back

Plans are put it together and hope it floats lol. Just gonna get it together get some interior possibly. Rebuild the engine then decide if I wanna keep it if I do ill strip it and paint it the same scheme just flipped. Instead of all black with the blue striping it will be all blue with black striping.

LOL, reminds me of something I once heard at the river races "If it goes fast enough and runs consistently it don't have to float" he was talking about a boat that hit a huge rock that opened up the gunwale like a sardine can.   :screwy: They ran the boat with a foil backed duct tape patch and finished second in their class.  :thumbup: :thumbup:

Got the engine in and every thing squared away over the last few days. Got the drive line off and flexplate bolted on now and gonna plumb it and fire it up and get it running right and hopefully make a trip or two to perris to dial it in before I take it all apart again to pretty it up

Well I pulled some strings with my friend at perris and he's gonna let me float the boat this weekend as long as I dont drive it. Works for me considering I am still waiting on paper work and my dowels for my steering nozzle. Plan on running it on the trailer for a while to tune the carb and make sure the jets not in need of a rebuild and the just let it sit while I enjoy some time with the family.

Sweet

How's the boat coming

Slowly but surely. Ain't in any hurry but it would be nice to put it on the water a few times before I either sell it or strip it and make it pretty.

How's your boat comin?

Well I made the decision to sell it a couple weeks ago to put more into the savings but until its hooked on someone else's truck i figured id keep working on it.

Got the top half sanded and buffed and got most of the railing put on over the last few days
