Oh what the heck, might as well paint the drives and transom housings while I'm at it..

(move forward in time about a month)

Hatch is back from Speeddoc's palce with the new vents installed. New hand rails installed.

With the new vents and the scoops I figured I had a lot of air going in, but nowhere to come out. So I installed a couple of vents along the backside of the hatch. The new cleats matched almost perfectly.

Transom getting back together. "Martini"s tab plates. New cables. Bottom of the drives will get painted black for easy touchup.

Sea strainers installed. I had a heck of a time finding a place for these monsters. The starboard one went outside the stringer...

The port one bolted to the center stringer...

Unbelievable is all I have to say. You have been one busy boy this past winter!

How 'bout those purple drives!!

The dash mostly reassembled. New (to me) throttles/shifters, GPS speedo, Garmin GPS (under the cover), and of course everything is now white.

..and one of the girls back at home.

As of today both engines are back in and running and 75% of the cockpit is back together. Today I plan on finishing that up, and then it's simply a matter of waiting on "Maxx" for my steering and "Martini" for my tabs.

That looks great Steve!!! Nice work. We need more pics.
