I finally got my boat home. It has been over at the guys house that I bought it from because I could work on it over at his house, but now he has sold his house and I had to get it out of his yard. ( I live in a townhouse, untill I get my own house).

Number one problem I had was not having the time to go and uncover it from winter. Then when I got the time I got it ready for the summer and then I had to go to California for 2 weeks for work. Then when I got back I had to replace one of the oil coolers that froze over the winter (that took about 2 weeks to figure out). I also replaced the raw water hoses from the sea cocks to the sea strainers, Had to reset the timing on the starboard motor and lash the valves on it. Then the tubes that bolt on the starboard K-plane decided to rupture and leak oil in the transom. So I had to find the material and make the new tubes. Here is a picture on the engine so you can see what I had to go thru to get the valve cover off.
