Yup, that is the one. Now it sits in my yard in south miami. I will say one thing cigarette sure knows how to build a boat it is a tug boat. Every thing I take out seem to weigh more then me. Getting to old for this. I am hoping to be finished by summer so I can hit abaco.

Clyde, contact me about what you need I have everything but engine and drives. The boat is striped now and transom is plugged. Going to put the gimble assembly up for sale next week but still have them and every thing else. I just scraped out the black parelli (sp) rubber glued in mat with circles like bingo chips. I don't know you guys up north boat but 2 minutes in the Florida sun with that would burn your feet so bad. Another 30 or 40 pounds I didn't need. Just picked up the upholstery that lines the dash and hatch also the new dash panel in all white with lighted switches. Will start sanding both dash sides to the deck next week and paint it off white awlgrip. Also took out a five gallon bucket of extra wire. Took out steering i may have to do some mods to allow for hydraulic steering due to the helm pump, we shall see. Still can't figure out how to post or I would show more results to all. I am starting to see some ideas come to life but still have so much more to do.

This reminds me of a Bullet in CT. that had 2 blower 502's with 150 HRS on the boat. The guy was a Merc rep and got a deal on 2 300HP 350's.......for some crazy reason, he did the switch and the boat went from 82 MPH to 66ish MPH.......what a waste!!!!!!!

Wow if I could get 66 ish I would jump for joy I was thinking only 62 without fine tuning, tops. The transom is supported, transom painted and bracket for engines is installed. Now working on new deck where engine was. What a difference when the back is all opened and you have so much more space.

Well while waiting for engines to come in and the upholstery to be finished I went and started the dreaded "head project". It wasn't that bad a job it took only two hours and would have been less if I had some replacement hoses that were kinked. I started by taking the storage area cap off I think only six screws. Right below was the pump motor, out it came. Then went to the macerator which was under the starboard seat and took it and the y valve off. Now Remember I went into this with just replace all attitude. I thought the water pump was bad as when I pushed the start up button nothing happened and the lights dimmed. I got it on the work bench and found that the pump was frozen and when freed up everything worked, that saved $100. At least. The macerator had to be changed and when taking it out the flange broke on one side. Went up to the store and got a new motor but they no longer have the same y valve it was discontinued. This one is bigger and wider so if you are going to do this project try to save the valve I made the adjustments added some new hose and all is well. Engines will be in next week and soon as we can get it into the shop they will be installed. The upholstery should be done and installed in three week period. I will be on the water in the middle of august. A little longer then I expected but finally done wit most all but the interior. I did order the material for it today but not in such a rush to stop me from using the boat. By end of august all should be done. Going to make reservations in the Bahamas for Labor Day.
