Is it going to be ready this summer? Bring it to middle bass July 20 weekend. You will have to call and get a dock if you are interested.

Maybe in a couple years. I'm taking my time with this boat. I'll die with it if all goes as planned.

I'm after some power and I hope to have it in color by this fall. We have a new baby and I'm 43 years old. First one and she has occupied a bit of my free time. Lol.

Upholstery this summer, color by fall and power by next spring and I might have a fighting chance at spring of 2014.

I just finished welding the rear rotisserie. Almost time to flip the old girl.

Have a good night fellas, rob.

Drilling the transom:








The stern rotisserie:




That's a 12" by 12" by 1/4" thick steel plate that is through bolted where the top 4 gimble holes are. I ran out of gas for the mig so I'll weld the axle to the plate this week.

Almost time to flip the old girl!

500 hp Tim. We are going to port the heads and intake, have the carb worked and put a good ignition on it.
