I think thats the first time I ever saw a Blower motor with stock Merc cast exhaust. Those rubber hoses aren't going to last long.

Kurt was doing this boat on a budget. Good to see it running. These 38 Bertram Comps are so beautiful. One day....

Kurt has put a ton of time and sweat into putting that boat together. It's a tough thing to do without having a good stack of cash to throw at it. He's working out the little things and I'm sure he'll have it purring like it's 1977 again!

That boat was in sorry shape when he got it. No engines, missing the hatches, diesel tanks foamed in place. I am so glad to see it running. He will have to swap out the exhaust manifolds if he intends to run much boost.
