Progress has slowed some havnt had the money to order the steering yet. Got my swim platform back on. Harness is ran but not hooked in yet. Have the lower unit at the shop but they've been slow on getting to it. And with all the rain we've been getting its been tough to work on it since I don't have shelter to get it under. I'm still making some progress but it has slowed down. Drilled the hole for the rigging hose last night still waiting on the engine side of the rigging hose to come in. Hopefully this weekend I can get it all wired up and cables ran to the engine....

I can say that I at least go out and admire the boat daily with its new look!

Do like me, climb on up and sit at the wheel, make motorboat sounds until someone catches you...

Lol! I make my best motorboat noises when my wife is in the boat! We live on a small lake and If I turn it around in the yard and get the tongue at just the right height it almost looks like your on the water while sitting at the wheel..... Don't ask me how I know....

Getting a little closer to getting this thing back on the water... Got the lower unit back from the shop Friday and installed it yesterday they were very reasonable on the price for putting the new shaft in but I've been burned so many times on lower units I'll wait to pass judgement on the quality of the work until it's on the water. Got all the rigging done on the engine side except for water pressure hose for gauge. Still have to wire everything in the dash since I've changed so much up there. And still collecting penny's for the hydraulic steering. Hoping to be done towards the end of next month but we shall see I said the same for getting it done by the end of this month and now I know I won't make that happen.... So far really happy with the way it's all coming together!!

Progress sometimes takes a little time.. Just in time for Scallop season, or some kind of season, somewhere...

I had to say it... Get that phone out... snap a few pics and post them
