Ron P : Hey man! We are getting it all cleaned up and ready for you! I'll contact you as soon as we get it back to OC.

The detailing work on the exterior of the boat and on the engines is finished. Needless to say, I am very impressed with the results. I will have some pics of the finished cockpit this coming week.

Tonto: Thank you. I can't wait to get down there again. We will be down there as soon as our drives are finished. We are just waiting on the word from Tres. I seriously doubt that it will be any time this week. I am thinking that it will be the later part of next week if everything goes well. We'll see. Tres has worked some miracles in the past, so you never know. I'll keep you posted.
WetKitty42: We do not have to change any of that because we are using the same uppers and just converting them to dry sump. The old lowers, however, will be removed and replaced with a new pair with the swept back skeg. As you know, these already contain the dry sump setup right from Mercury. With this combination, we get all of the benefits of the new dry sump drives, but at a fraction of the cost of a new pair.

It will all come together in the end after some paint and/or vinyl work.
