It's taken some persuasion here lately. You hit a point where you fix a boat or just walk away from it. Was in to deep to walk away. Now it's on the right track and about to hit the water. It won't be 100% done and there are things that would have been done differently. It's a solid boat no more rot. now with all new power, 1450 trans and fresh drives. All new electrical system and rigging. Even LED trim indicators with the electronic senders. Could have had a newer boat or a bigger boat but would have all this new stuff. It's been a long road for all involved with it a bit more then we all expected but it's almost time to ride now. And some great work can be shown off.

Can't wait to see it. It's awesome that you have stuck to it and kept going.
Mine is sort of the same you get to a point of no return and you can moth ball it, sell it or keep going. All of them cost you a ton of money but only one will give you the satisfaction you were seeking in the first place.

The sprint to finish the boat befor tickfaw just hit a wall. Ran into getting the seats recovered had a just guy lined up and his Sewer quit on him. Called TMP they were too backed up (really wanted to use him) went to another place across from my shop and he said ok no problem you may get them back by that Thursday of the run..... now kicking my self for taking them apart to check for rot and waiting to get the back seat back to do it all at once. Tried putting the old covers back on and ripped one also.

Trim ram also messed up today. Need a New TRS starboard side external line trim ram.
The shop is going to do the two from bolsters I just don't know if they'll be done in a week
