The Grenade/ Cafe Rebuild
 

Well time to take the plunge. Its time to get the motors fresh and ready to go. I dropped one off at the machine shop. Once together and ready to go ill rig it and pull the other for a freshing. Here are a few photos of status as it sits:

Seems all is still usable. Im assuming with the proper welding skills i have ontained i can fuse this back together and have it together in no time.

Kev Puke Tanks installed. Didnt know if this was somehtign you were thinking of for your set up
-Mike

What tanks are those? I've been looking for some but most I've found don't have duel, decent size inlets.

You're going to weld that back together, instead of replacing it? :party-smiley-004:

Great hearing it hit the water yesterday Mike!!!! Looking forward to the pics of it on the water. :cool:

BTW, after all that work and practically rebuilding / replacing everything on the boat, I can't believe you're selling it!!! :eek:

Lookin good mike. Need some in the water pics to really believe this project is finished! :lolhit:
