Blast from the past
 

I just picked up my new winter project today. 1976 Spectra 20 Daycruiser :grinser010:

Total resto over the winter. New motor, gauges,wiring and alot of chroming and powdercoating. Then after it's running in the spring new vinyl and carpet :cool:

Hey, left hand drive.

It's from England. :D

Oooh! Can't wait to run down rivah in that!!

There is an engine cover for those rear seats right? :eek:

Winter project.....no Colorado this winter? Or do you want me to come down and work on it this winter? I'd be all over that!! Seriously......I'm not kidding.....

Nope California :evilb:

The engine cover comes up to the bottom of the headers and covers the front. There's a reason they call them jump seats. :eek:

We usually come home after New Years and go back in March so it gives me some in between time to work on it. Jim has a 540 with some internal goodies that were going to drop in it. The headers and tunnel ram off of this motor are going on the new one after they get sandblasted and chromed. New polished valve covers too. That motor looks hideous like it is. :cool-smiley-027:

What part of this didn't you read......Seriously:party-smiley-004:

I might need a consultant at some point for sure :cool-smiley-027:

That'll Work!!:cool:

I like it, sorry I didn't stop by on the way home from Va. Beach. I didn't get home until 11:30, & had to be at work brite & early. Hope fully we will see you at BOTE next year.

Very cool Mark. I am hopeing to soon get myself a little river rocket also. 22 Apache/ Donzi/ Cig. Good luck and keep us posted on progress.:ernaehrung004:

Took it out for a shakedown/sea trial to the cove last Sunday :grinser010:
Russ do you recognize the guy standing by the boat ?

Yeah, I've known him my whole life!!! :)

Did you ask him if he wanted to race???

After a week of twisting wrenches and cleaning here's what it looks like now :eek:

Mark, you have too much time on your hands....:angry-smiley-038:

:grinser010:

Turn your phone on dude :angry-smiley-038: You must not have enough time on your hands to talk to your buddy :drink:

I tried calling you 2 hours ago....yours was turned off!!!

I'm heading your way by myself tomorrow, wanna go for a ride?????

He'll have to put it all back together. :D

I'm on the phone with Russ I'll call you back in a few :D

OK, answer yours biotch! :grinser010:

Damn. you can talk and type. I'm impressed! :drink:

Alright..go answer your phone!!! :)

I was talking about MY boat..... :drink:

I figured.

How's the FWB doing Russ?

Good, Motors have been a little rich but working with Precision Marine to get that corrected......will be testing a couple more props tomorrow too. Gotta get everything I can out of her!!!!

Cruisin' right along Mark:cool: How did it run on the sea trial?

It ran pretty good. The boat is real sound for its age. The motor was a little tired but Jim and I have the solution for that hanging on his engine stand. :grinser010:

A few progress pics. of the Rivah Rocket :grinser010:

Nice job Mark....less than 2 more weeks to go until ski time!!!:cool:

Were leaving next weekend. Were probably going to stop by the farm one night on the way thru Indiana. :drink:

Can't wait to go for a ride. Same place for breakfast? What was the name again? Dayum, that was good! :cool:

Or...we can take the 4 wheeler. :eek:

Line it up with a Colts game...remember the Thunder Run?:ernaehrung004:
