9 years yeah did not realize that till today also. The boat has a whopping 14 hr on it since it was put back together. Lots of should have done like bravo drives.... and some other small things like should have done the purple suede seats and never realize it did not have a all-around light. it’s got a transom light. Maybe the transom light is supposed to be the all-around light? I don’t know. No haven’t painted the out side yet. Would like to go all white with tickfaw 200 down it in a decal. But that’s a solid 10k that I dont won’t to spend on it at this time need to actually enjoy it.

then when the issue came up with the starter I got pissed off after spending lots and lots of money. Having to pull motors and all tha bs to make it right was not something I was Up for. It’s been sitting for almost 2 years now in it’s shop. Would turn the motors by hand to keep them from sitting in one spot. Got unpissed off about a month ago and had a custom built starter made with a longer throw so I did not have to tear everything apart. Works great now.

So is it all done and back on the water?

Glad to hear its (mostly) done. I actually like the original paint scheme, always have.

Yeah it’s up and going. Having the cockpit scanned this weekend for the marine mat.

Ours is going in within a week or so too. Excited.

Going to go with this combo for the floor. Diamond pattern. Thinking just the oval and 1 on the foot rest and cig script across the back seat.

Congrats on the progress and getting unpissed off. You have a chunk of change in your project but you’re smarter than I am. I’ve had 4 boats since you started on yours. I’ll trade you boat bills over the last 9 years.

Back on the water for a shake down.

I would put my engines in a "time out" in the garage cover em and put them in a corner when I got frustrated but it would only last about 2 weeks . 9 year is quite the time out but congrats!

The Marine matt went in today. Came out just as planed. It’s hard to tell in the lighting but it’s black with purple groves. Will have to get some more pictures when the sun hits it. It looks great in person.
