Your doing great work, its very inspiring!!!!

Wow I can't believe how crazy the weather is down here in VA! It was super cold earlier this week (along with the rest of the U.S.) So I had to work some long days at work. Last night it was 40 then when I got up today it was 60! So I finished the sanding on the engine hatch but it was WAY TO HUMID to paint!! A storm was on its way in! My garage floor was soaked from the humidity! I never seen anything like that before! I have a pic of the garage floor that was soaked! So I decided to work on getting the new to me transom assembly (thank you baja226sport) cleaned up and ready to go, still have some more work to do on it before I hang it on the boat. Slowly but surely I am getting this boat done!!

Awesome progress! I keep finding things to change lol. But weather here is deginitely better. High of 72 today. Keep it going!

Thank you! I also keep finding things to change!! LOL! I bet the AZ weather is sweet right now! This VA weather is crazy but I am not going to complain! I have done more this winter then I did in a whole winter in MI. In MI I would have to take anything out of the boat I wanted to work on over the winter before it was shrink wrapped and then couldn't do anything else until spring. I am enjoying the mild VA winter since I can work on the boat allot more!

How is your project doing?

Yeah I need to dedicate some solid days, but my 2 year old keeps me pretty busy right now. Just happy the transom is removed, and now time to cut out the engine stringers. Haven't done much the last week or so, but I think I'm gonna go EFI. Been talking with Alex Haxby, and the Holley HP EFI seems like a no brainer. Are you sticking with a carb?

Wow a 2 year old! I could not keep up with that! LOL! The wife and I just have dogs no real kids LOL!. I built my current engine 3 years ago and it runs great so I just did new paint on it, new gaskets, new water pump, new oil cooler, and I will be doing a new intake on it and closed cooling since I'm now in salt water. I don't have any problems running the carb, I had the engine broken in and dyno tuned by Orlandi Performance (brian41) when I built it so I'm not going to mess with it.

I got the engine hatch painted today. I got a new water pump and it was sitting on the work bench awaiting install and it was so humid yesterday that it flash rusted! I got pics of some of the goodies I have been collecting, Garmin 640 which will be in dash mounted, new depth sounder, and the GoPro my in laws got me for Christmas!

Got some updates! Was out own town for work for almost 2 weeks but still making progress. I am not going to use the rear seat/sub panel I made a few years ago anymore. Just made a new basic panel since I want to move the battery's under the rear seat. I am also going to add more speakers and a new grab handle in the next few weeks. I also made the new bottom trim panel for it.

And all my new wood I put 2 coats of resin on them so I hope they last longer.
