Started the winter paint project too late and it ran into boating season. Get it out late May and had fun for a few weeks and my little hod rod trusty dusty small block (not anymore) decides to put a vent in the oil pan. Had a 548hp 502 sitting in the garage that was supposed to be a end-of-season swap. Since the 502 was just a carb to pan long block, I had to spend a lot of time on e-bay and in the classified section here. Brackets, accessories etc. Very close now, just waiting on my CMI tails to splash it. A week hopefully.



Oh and.... I posted my as5 off in the tech section duing this swap. Thanks to all who have answered my questions.

Summer? I work 6 days out of the week, and have to do normal stuff on the day I dont like mow the grass, chores around the house, clean out the truck, etc.

Did accomplish a little "tune up" on the boat a month or so ago (engine out, tank out, basically everything apart and cleaned or replaced)

Hope to get out saturday afternoon.

It has been the Summer of Mitch :) 80 hrs to date, not one problem to keep me away from the water, clean bilge, it has been great, There are always a few things to do during the week....like boat more. Now the gas bill on the other hand...over $100 a week and more on the weekend makes it a little tough to run 4500rpms but 3500 gets me there and short bursts are ok. :) Overall, no wife or kids keeps me in the pink :) :cool: I live 1/4 mile from the ramp and lake MI so I can be on the water in 15min, one day in 10 :)

Definitely had better here. Started out looking to be the best summer yet, but................blew another outdrive on memorial weekend, followed by a bad motorcycle accident. Then when I get almost well enough to take the boat out, both my outdrives were stolen two days after the bad one had just been fixed :blaster: :mad:

Now I am dealing with insurance to see what we can come up with :eek: Hopefully and a big HOPEFULLY I will be running again by the Lake Ozark Shootout :eureka:

We'll see where this takes me. At least I am here to be thankful that I survived the motorcycle accident and the women have been real supportive :cool: :D :drink:
