Well, the boat will be leaving the Maytag Repairmans yard next week. I have a guy a couple miles from my house that said he would rig the new motor and controls for a couple hundred $$. I know I can do the job, but he's got the shop and hoist and all and he does it all the time. I figure it's money well spent and I don't have to rig a come-along to hoist the motor. The guy that bought the Johnson from me lives just down the street from him, so he'll take that then.
So, if all goes as planned, I should be making a shakedown run in about two to three weeks. I have to set up my VHF and GPS/Fishfinder, and flipback cooler seat, but I can do that anytime once it's back here in my yard.
