This picture was from last weekend, been raining here most of the week. Anyway, the only part of the engine left on the boat is the intermediate housing. Took the powerhead off to be rebuilt, took the bottom section off to replace the steering shaft. Lower unit will get new seals as well. As far as the boat goes all I have done is add the boot stripe and the 'Wellcraft' decals. When I set her in (next week?) I will decide where exactly to strike the bottom paint.

I totally agree with RKC...she's looking great. Shame you gotta paint bottom, but I agree that it's a pain to launch every night kinda thing.
Good luck with her :)

It hurts my heart to see you have to paint the bottom of that pretty thing.
