The actual tabs them selves were made for me by my friend, Mel Riggs and have his initials on them. He used just standard hydraulics from Mercury.

it got the original nr 60 back already,will put the yellow paint next week,now cleaning up the engine room taking out all the old hoses,will make a new bolster (yellow) and start repairing the crack in the deck,what is the biggest job for the rest it is still in a very good condition,planning to use the gasoline tanks in the back and use the one in front for water.
