;DI already told you what to do. Get it under the tree with a come-a-long ;)

Hey BTW, do you have your schedule for the upcoming week yet? I was wondering what your doing on Thursday. My daughter's office in Dennis and I have to go down there with her on Thursday for an hour or so. She'll be in the office a good part of the day though and I figured iffin you wasn't doing anything, I'd hang with ya for a bit. If you gotta work, I can hit Boater's World and spend some $$ (I'll probably do that anyways ;D) I could even give you a hand with that beast if you don't have it off by then. I'm sure you will though.

Well I made alot of progress today!! I got all the old stuff out and the new wireing all installed, with the new oil tank.
I am waitting for the Cables and new steering system to come in so I can install them.
Then it just hang the motor and away we go!!
So I figure if I can get the man power and my helper here I could running in one or two days!! Ten one day to make all the wires nice under the consol and another day to paint the bottom.
