Yep, you know better than most and were probably far more stressed than I have been. Great outcome though.

Water exits for the tail pipes. Looking at the pics, the tail pipes go all the way through the transom.

Getting down to the wire but the tailpipes showed up and the interior going back in. Brand X has had all three guys on this since the parts showed up. Can't ask for anymore than that.
Stainless Marine did a great job on the pipes. The Smartcraft is run through the Garmin now. We hope to fire them off tomorrow.

Right before the hatches went back on yesterday. The front seats and dash are all set and gauges work.
Sea l was this morning and Jason said she ran great in some rough water here. Now for a wash/flush and she's on the road. We are headed to the airport. See you at LOTO.

So the boat made it to LOTO on Wed afternoon. About 120 miles on the new power so far and another 150-200 before the weekend ends. Here are two short vids of the running so far.
