I hear ya BIG DAWG. Back in the game. I like it.

Hey Reel, that other V at Johnny's is loaded up and ready to head to the dump, let me know if you need anything off of it.

Way to go, Reel! Very happy for you.

Excellent!

Was it you who previously told me that 84 was the best year for V's?

Congratulations reel!
:clap:

The 84 has a lotta good qualities, but I liked the '74 for the 11 years I was in it and the 95 21'er was nice too...I may have said I liked the 84s, but it's tuff to pick a favorite!!...

Destroyer, you're RIGHT about the way she's blocked up right now....not the most solid, but I'll pick up some more blocks, double-stack 'em and lower one course for more stability...I just need to return the trailer tomorrow and had to GEETER DUN w/what I had...a good friend came out and helped me w/it...he was a bit amazed at the whole process!!...

Pete...like said above, my buddy and I tied it off to the storage room wall and on 1st attempt nearly pulled the wall down...wife ran in to get the video camera...LOL!!...so we decided to yank the motor and wet the runners...hung the Merc from a beam, lowered the transom via the jack-stand and off she came!!...wet down the runners good, retied and off the hull came...wife didn't need the video camera after all...I think she was disappointed...LOL!!

Thanks for all the great comments and encouragement, Guys...w/this well of knowledge on this forum, I feel like I can do anything w/this boat...:sun:

that's great. Looks like this boat really lit a fire under you a$$. I'm happy for you. I can't wait to go fishing out on it.

congrats on the new addition, I know a good (great, awesome) mechanic of you ever need one.

Isn't yours an '84?...then I gotta good START!!...lol!!...

I have a 1989 200 hp Black Max and the starter engaged while moving
and broke the mount for the starter, The mount was cast in the block from what I am told and could be v notched and welded back by a good welder. I have moved on to a Yamaha ox66 225 so mine is for sale and I wanted to get $800.00 for it
