Yes all is well, I'm back in my new home and look forward to doing some boating this year. I wish it wasn't so far I'd bring it out for the old school reunion I think you would enjoy seeing what I've done in person. This winter I'm going to rebuild the engines , I'm going to leave them stock ,just going to fresh'n up the bottom ends and do a valve job. It should then be completely finished. My wife says then you'll probably want to sell it then and start a new project isn't that the way . She said no more rebuilding boat it's to expensive your going to keep this one .But I'll tell you that if I didn't have the mirage I'd be coming out to see that 28ss with the big blocks that's in the classified I love that boat ! Tell to you soon .

Thanks, putting that lifeline was a lot of work by using pictures as a reference, but the boat looks so much better with it.

Thanks guys , I know today's boats are supposedly built better or look nicer, but you guys know there is just something about these old school boats. There is nothing better than pulling up somewhere and people flock around your boat and just can't believe the age . I know that is more of a thrill for me than lets say pulling up in a new top gun. I believe you guys probably feel the same, that why we do what we do to keep these boats alive. A lot of people don't realize that the boat of today are around because of our boats. Lets not ever lose the passion for these old GEMS.

Totally agree...wish more people would correctly restore the old boats. Can't wait to see pics of the Mirage.
