lol that is why I put the wife in charge of the budget.... Otherwise I would spend money for the next two years and never go boating

Budget is a good thing, money goes so dam quick for some reason.

Yeah it sure does... We have had to trim the budget a lot and move a few things we wanted to do till next winter...

Had a few unexpected surprises, a few dollars spent doing the same thing twice etc. etc.

Right now we are just focused on what it needs to go boating only!!

I cannot even count how many times I had too pay twice for a better outcome. Was just not happy with the results, like buying a decking board cutting it and needing to get other just to gain the 1/16 of a inch back that you cut off, to fill the cap better to make a better result. At times it can be hard not to just hammer it out and get it done. For some reason those money trees are hard to find. Keep up the great work and keeping us posted, a great read and info for all.

We should have the engines back from Joe at Fast Forward here in a few days!! The new spray bar has turned into quite the project lol

Joe's CNC guy made some cosmetic changes to the first one and it did not fit the block right... CNC guy is cutting a new one now as he is back on Joe's page. Good news is once the first one is done Joe will have the CNC program saved and will be able to make them in no time!!

The new completion date is going to have to be pushed from May 1 to around May 15th now. But as long as it is running be the end of June I can still make the Saint Clair Run!! The 4th of July party in our local mud puddle is a must too!!

Wait, St. clair? I thought you were in FLA? If you're going to be up this way, I would love to check out your boat. It would help me a little to see what you did.

Yeah we have family in Michigan...

I'm trying to make that run!

Jobbie Nooner! Long pull up from Fl, but should be worth the drive. Hope to run into you down there. keep up the posts very good thread. Thanks!
