Thanks for the comiseration guys. I got the trailer squared away, the electronics mounted and working, the wiring done, the bilge pumps rewired, the bow rail installed, the navigation lights done. But the engine is just not cooperating. Still need to rebuild the carbs and clean/wax the boat. There's a very slim chance that I might make it, but it's really doubtful at this time.
A family member is getting married in a week so the clan is gathering. Brothers, sisters and others are flying in from all parts of the globe, so I have airport runs to do to pick them up. (Sister that lives in France is flying in today at 4:30 as an example) It's just eating up any spare time I might have had to work on the engine. <sigh> I was really looking forward to meeting you guys..
.. I guess it will have to wait for the next meet.
Hope everyone has a great time
