got aroud to plumbing port engine today and made time to try and fire her off and she did not disappoint! she took her first breath on port side and I'm overly thrilled about it! shes slowy coming to life hoping to do a small shake down test run in the coming weeks!

Engines are in and doing well. Got the drives put on this morning. Got 4 new batteries for her this morning and got to check all her systems out and everything seems to be good! Other than the drive trim cylinders being stuck only thing I’ve found wrong yet since reassembly! The rebuild of the Ol Cafe that was left for dead is still coming along well! Considering where I started!

Awesome man.

My Cafe was the latter style cabin with the table and wrap around seat. It was neat, but the couches are so much more functional.....

Keep up the work....

I'm not a prop expert, but 3 blades seem an odd selection for that boat.....

I had a set of 24's and 26's on mine. 4 blades.

I agree I didn’t put those on there but I have a set of bravo 23’s for it I’m gonna give a try I always kinda wondered why it had these on it also lol

4 blade will give you way better cruise speed. Trs used 3 blade for the deeper drive
