87 F223LS Making some progress
 
This ol bird has been keeping me too busy. I have been neglecting the interior to get the engine and exterior workable.
I finally got in the cuddy and reattached my port mood (interior side) lamp that's been falling off for two years, and on my way out I started checking for my dash rattle. It turned out there were some nylock nuts under the center support of the driver dash that weren't snug. I love it when there's an obvious solution.
I would have been out on the boat today but i had the exhaust repaired on my truck. Normally I DIY, so don't hate me for paying for exhaust, the guy had to bend up and weld some pipes to fit.

This boat reminds me of the kid in school that had a fast car that always needed something done.

I'll be out there tomorrow though.

Old boats are stubborn b!tches but they come together eventually. So worth it! Congratulations on your progress and go get that thing wet.

They are definitely a labor of love... wouldn’t change a thing! A lot of my enjoyment comes from working on her.

Get out and have some fun! Oh, and no worries about having someone do your exhaust. That’s one job I like to leave for someone else to do!
