Seabird reminded me that I had an empty gallery sitting out there (thanks Mr. Bird).

So, I decided to do something about it. This was a before picture. I hadn't cleaned the boat at all.

Since then I've cleaned her up a little and I'm in the process of putting new springs, tires, and rims on the trailer.

More pics to come....

MJ, I think you've got me confused. My boat has the 2 gas guzzling, too heavy, overpowered, half-worn out, twin Johnson 140 outboards.

Wish I did have the I/O hull. Then I could say I had somethin!

I dropped the lower on one of the motors to put in a new water pump and I still can't get the darn thing back on. I made a support out of wood yesterday so that I could put a hand jack under the lower unit to hold the weight whilst I try to line things up. Hope it works.

The other motor needs a starter and a solenoid. I'll get to that if I can ever get this lower unit back on!!

:-[ I guess I do have things messed up!!

When I did my old 1974 Johnson I had a hard time getting the leg back on also. I had to turn the prop so that the shaft would line up with the hole?? Also the hoses for the water flow have to belined up also.

Good luck!!
