Skools, I think Parishht meant the fuel line being almost on top or touching the battery terminal. I suppose if your fuel line were to leak, it could be dangerous...

Anyway, looking really nice buddy. As somebody already said, someone's gonna get a great deal in buying that boat AND trailer.

well guys i towed her around town and some highway this afternoon and tonight to test the brakes and to ensure the tires and bearings didn't get hott. All was good and working perfect. towed great stopped great that Gas Tahoe doesn't man handle the boat as well as my diesel one does but it does well. tomorrow is the big 3.5 hour trip to the coast for her first return since i picked her up on Front St. Beaufort NC 5 years ago.

Took off the heads to look at the salt and to my shock very little, the compression is 90 psi on all but 1 it has 80 so i took the head on this side first and found cylinder has some scoring, i'm going to re-ring her any way then. The marina said it was scrap and they had sold the power pack off due to bad flywheel, all it needed was magnets re-glued, dummies lol.
