Got a lot done in the past few days, only got pictures of bottom paint so far though, more to come. Ran new throttle and shift cables, and fuel lines. Reinstalled gas tank and plumbed everything. Rewired lights, radio, 12v accessory, and a few other things with help from a few friends. Filled it up with gas and was relieved to hear it fire up on the first turn.

A lot of work, but in the end something to be proud of. Well done.

Few more pictures...

looks like launch and fly time!

Almost! I have some cosmetic stuff to take care of before it goes in. I was originally shooting for memorial day weekend, but I'm way ahead of that now, hopefully next weekend. I figure if I get what I want done before it goes in, the only reason it'll have to come out until fall is if it's broken.

Thank God its out of my driveway:fight::fight::fight:

Kenny, did you talk to your dad about the horrible condition of his boat like we asked you to? I mean... really,.... it's getting embarassing.:hide:

Yea its been sitting covered up and sterilized all winter. Now he is going to have to put messy oil and gas in her, maybe some fish blood and scales.
It may be a traumatic time of year for Ken.

Not yet, I pulled it home again.:you:

Yeah, but he's too thick headed, I even tried to get him to break his habits on my boat...no dice.

Gas and oil maybe, but as far as fish goes...he'd actually have to catch one!

I got a 75 V-17 that is stripped out and ready for new stringers and deck. I went to West Marine yesterday and bought 2 gallons of 105 resin and 206 hardener, pumps, ss screws and all the tools I need to finish off the boat, good luck on yours and welcome..............
