Oh, and you were right about the bad ignition switch...the Fountain...she runs again!
The engines and all those new shiny red parts will be going in a Fountain ,just not an all RED one.

Wow an ignition switch , guess us Miller boys do know what we are talking about from time to time

Trailer is all done already, got my new canvas made for the cockpit. BTW...if anyone needs canvas, they should REALLY get in touch with Harvey at Old Plank Road Marina in Frankfort...I dropped the boat off last Tuesday and picked it up on Monday with a gorgeous cover.

Engines might be on hold with the instability of our economy right now...but I've got a whole list still:
-fix rear seat
-fix cabin door
-new dashboard
-powder coat throttles and shifters
-new bezels
-fix lights in v-berth
-fix battery charger
-all new hoses on motors
-new drive showers whenever Obnoxus gets around to ordering them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Oh yeah...plus the repairs/projects I have going on 3 sleds. Isn't this supposed to be the down time of year?

I had some milky oil in one of the motors this fall, so guess that looks like the emergency project instead of what I wanted to do.
