Russ,

There is another 311 up my way with a tubular platform on the tail. His is powdercoated red to go with his graphics and it does look really nice. I'm sure you could get one powdercoated in a color to compliment your graphics.

I think I would make at least this one effort to appease her. I wish you well in this regard. I know they just don't think like we do. I'm still dodging bullets at 43!

Hey Russ ...got the box back on and we backed it in the lake and fired it up ....sounds nice ....they were trying to get it done wed but was getting late and they were trying to hurry so I made em stop cause I figured they were going to frick something up ....I am working all weekend anyway . Made em wait til Monday ....

Yeah, I gotta go to work now too. Sucks.

Tomorrow I'm going to take the stripes off the transom and bring it down at a slight angle on the rear of the sides then buff everything out to a high gloss.

Sunday I'm going to spray the lowers silver if it's warn enough. I hope to pick up the spacers Monday and will get the new batteries over the weekend.

Eddie Marine sent me 8 "riser gaskets" out this past Tuesday so they might be here today.

Getting closer all the time.......Yippee........

Great minds think alike, I actually saw and went through that thread this morning and indexed it. Thanks for pointing it out, would not liked to have missed it.
