I guess I better keep the updates coming. I spent all last weekend working the the boat, here is what is done. Exhaust holes modified to work with the starboard engine. One engine installed, and started Other than needing to tune the carb, the engine runs great, at least on a hose, ha. The old hole in the dash for the cable helm has been filled, and re-cut for the new hydraulic helm.

I'm heading back up tonight. This weekends goal is to plumb the steering, and get engine #2 ready to drop in next week.

Both lowers are now built, and I'm going to finish the two uppers next week.

So with all that said- I'm hoping that the boat can finally touch the water next weekend. I'll know for sure by the end of this weekend.

Here is an quick video of the initial startup of the new engine.

Ok guys- Next Sunday/Monday (19/20th) is the target date to test the boat. Second engine is in, I'll be installing the starboard drive today, and building the other upper this upcoming week. It's nice that I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel with this project.

So here is this weekends progress, swim platform back on, drive installed, and lots of little projects completed. It's nice to finally see this coming to an end and looking like a completed boat again.

After all the work & $$$$$, I hope it performs to your expectations. Good Luck.

Hope ya drilled the bottom of that silent thunder out to lets those motors breath...

Indeed- They have been drilled out since the day I bought the boat!

Never had a issue getting water in the motors when backing down a ramp?

No, never been an issue.
