Engines are at builders getting new cams and crap
Bilge is half painted, been working on it last two days
Transom plate is off port side because of weak factory seal
Tails need to be drilled and weld in 02 bungs
Still have to put engines back together, send ECU's for programming, purchase new pulleys and thermos, paint black parts, run new bilge pumps and lights, re seal transom plate, install engines and drives, test and tune. Oh, and the whole thing needs its spring buff and wax :/
Our season starts Mid May, i got time but I am shooting for 95 percent complete by April 1st

2 to 3 weeks to being ready. Still have dash, new gauges to be completed and re-install windshield after new paint and weather stripping installed. In water on the first 65 degree day for sure. Then again, we're expecting 5-10 inches of snow here Wednesday...COME ON SUMMER!!!!!

Not too fat away. Got in my new waterpump friday...need to change that, and change the oil as well as lower unit. Getting glove box door and gauge panel painted. Upgrading the stereo, but thats it..nothing major and nothing that will keep me off the water this weekend with the good forecast.
