Most likely The Ganary/Georgetown on the hook Friday night, and Havre de Grace/Tome's condos Saturday night. Daytime destinations undetermined, but I would suspect a mix of Still Pond, Lloyd Creek, and the Susquehanna Flats.

This is NOT my boat, but check out the killer diamand-plate job this guy did on this 382 in the Classifieds. Makes my stuff look punk. I couldn't do the diamond plate generator cover, as my hot water heater would get in the way, but - W-O-W!!!
Very, very nice.

I've had a request to bump this thread back up, so here it is.
Confession: I ran this boat for 30 hours after the rebuild before properly checking the ignition timing. When I took the engines apart, I marked the distributors and intake manifolds. When I finally re-checked them yesterday, the starboard engine was perfect at 8 degrees BTDC, and the port engine was only 1.5 degrees off at 6.5 BTDC. (I always said that I'd rather be lucky than good...)

One-year anniversary, if you can believe it. What a project. I'm glad that I did it, but I think that I'm even happier that I'm not doing it this winter!
Instead, the wife's got "a list of a few things" to do around the house........
