Hi Jet,, I live in the Seminole Heights area... I thank you for the offer and may take you up on it.. I have a johnson 150 on it and will definitely need to rewire it..
Did you get to see any of the pictures I posted? Been trying different ways to load them

if i'm not mistaken, that motor has a lifting eye on it

Either a chain hoist, come-along or (my own personal choice) a cherry picker will work fine.

I use a cherry picker because it allows me to move the engine around after I've removed it from the transom. It's simply a matter of logistics. Mobility equals ease of use.

Roycie, that tank installation must have cut out a bulkhead? looks crazy...tank must be too long. ...and hoses going the wrong way?

All the above skunkboat.... Had to wind up pulling the tank. Attached is a pic of what it looks like underneath... Now more work and a new tank... Oh the joys of restoring

Sometimes you gotta wonder why people do things. That off-the-shelf poly tank was probably $400 and a cluster&%$# to get it in. A new custom aluminum tank is $500-$550.

You can do it right or do it fast but you can't do it half-right, only half-fast!
