if you don't wanna replace any wood in that interior, don't look under any of the seats...

I have run into another issue, I pulled both drives to do water pumps and lower shift cables, and after getting one side done I fired the starboard motor and it lost oil pressure after a few min. Long story short the oil filter popped, but now I cant get the damned thing off. so it looks like I will be pulling the motors, on the plus side I can take a good look at the oil pans and clean the bilge liner real good. So much for spending my Friday relaxing!

Managed to get the filters off with a chisel, now onto the interior, wood refinishing, and detailing

So I took it out for the first time this season, ran great, but I have noticed these 406s will only spin 4000 rpm, I think its time for a prop change, might try a set of 21p round blade instead of the 23 cleavers

From what I've experienced this hull likes cleavers. I ran 65 MPH with 4 people and a full fuel
Tank running mild 325 HP 350s and 21 Cleavers in my old nova.
