Default Mistress Power!

Finally got the engines in today! Outdrives in (thanks to OSO for the masking tape trick). Sorry for the bad pics, was kind of busy!

Took exactly one hour from when the wrecker showed up to when he wrote up the invoice.

Got a bunch of work tomorrow to finish up the installation. Will take more pics.

Randy

Thanks!

I felt kind of bad....the house across the street has been for sale for 1+ year. Just at the right time, realtor and prospective buyer show up and here we are, engine 6 feet in the air as the driver is maneuvering around the cull-de-sac. Sweet.

Glad to see you're making some progress

Bought it about 2 years ago out of Mobile, AL. Been chewing away on it ever since. I know the value of the boat so I have not been dumping $$ in to (couldn't even if I wanted to), just trying to keep it a sane project. I was hoping it would be a one year project...but ya know how that goes.
