I finally go tot see the "project" in person. Chuck you have done a fantastic job so far buddy! I had no idea how deep this job really is. Just way too many really cool things being done on your boat to list them all.

Take care,

Rob

BTW Thanks agin for Saturday night!!! Everything was GREAT!!

Thanks for these updates - this is an awesome project and a beautiful-looking boat. Very inspirational.

Thanks! Parts of it (refurbishing engine wiring harnesses, washing parts, stripping paint) get tedious :signs069:, other parts (machining new gizmos) are fun :eureka: , and the "what do I do here?" head-scratching parts can drive you nuts :confused: .

If nothing else, at least I know the exact status of every clamp, hose, screw, wire, and bracket between the rear seat and the transom! :p

I just hope that it has a positive effect on re-sale in 5 years or so.......:crazy:

Progress on the engines today - Almost ready!

Before, After, and "The Boys"

Looking Great!! BIG improvement!!

Can’t wait to see them installed in the boat. How’s the paint coming on the boat?

Power looks great, very nice work. They will look awesome when you drop them in. I'll be available Saturday for a while if you need an extra set of hands, let me know. I can get you the stickers for the trailer too.

Let me know.

Wires look good Chuck.....Whats next? :D

You should get some up closse shots of the serpentine belt setup, you know....the one you made. One word......Awesome:cool-smiley-011:

Axa - Paint prep work is finished, final shooting is scheduled for March 7/8.

Treads - Thanks for the offer (and the trailer!), but i'm out of town this weekend....

R - I think I'll wait until we test-run the engines to make sure they don't spit the belt off like a watermelon seed! Next up is final bilge prep: install the platform, genny, sea strainer modifications, power steering plumbing. With all the travel I have in the next few weeks, I'm still hoping to wrap it up by the end of March - 5 very tough months!

I should be good to go by mid march.....just give me a call.:D

Great Job !!! That boat is going to look really sick !
