I was finally able to go for a boat ride. It took my engine guy 2 days to get it all done. The motor ran well but I do have a few minor problems to resolve, nothing that I can't fix in a couple of hours. She was able to do 32.5 knots at WOT 5200 RPM according to my GPS. Not to shabby for a 115 that had been laid up for 2.5 years.
Here are some pics. Now I gotta get her out fitted for fishing.

Fully tilted

Front veiw

New steering cylinder

Helm station

Another front veiw

Hammer the throttle cables are in the starboard tube and the services (Fuel Elec Oil)are in the port sidetube. The hydraulic lines for the steering run along the back of the transom. I have to finish the install of the steering as far as the cosmetics go.

Thanks 2ndchance. Thats still a swell job you did. No hard feelings I hope when I tried cutting your lock and chain securing your bracket. ;D :o :P
