scottie150, I've been following this from the beginning. All I've got to say, and I hope you know it's a big compliment, is I wish I had the money when you were finished to make an offer you couldn't refuse. Sincerely speaking, this boat of yours is truly incredible. I absolutely love it.

Well, my wife is back in school and once she is finished she will have moved on up to a new career field...maybe I can persuade her, lol.

Anyway, I sincerely wish you the best!!! :)

On the electrical I finally looked at it- and something keeps popping the main circuit breakers on the engine. I bought two new engine wiring looms so I am going to install those today(not really excited about pulling the starters:angry-smiley-038:) so I hope that fixes all the stupid electrical gremlins, as everything else is brand new. I will keep you guys posted- thanks for all the input!!

Problem fixed?

Don't know yet- been so busy with work I havn't got a chance to get the wiring done, I pulled the starboard harness out(pulling the starter out is such a joy) but I havn't had a chance to put anything back together. Hopefully this week.

Did you get yours done?

I started repainting the drives and the engines are actually starting to look like engines again. I will try to snap some pictures in the next day or two!

Spent most of the evening chasing the wiring. I am amazed- I bought merc wiring harnesses, and none of the colors are the same. Story of my life!!!! Like my wife says- if it was easy, everyone would do it-:lolhit:

Hey Scottie how far are you from Ephrata? I am stuck here for the weekend and would love to see your boat in person. I dont know if you remember but I talked to you awhile ago about your windshield. I have the same boat you do.

scottie150 06-06-2009 01:20 PM

From Ephrata I am about two hours. Is there anything in Ephrata?:drink:

capone550 06-06-2009 03:05 PM

Oh not really. I am gonna go to the local race track tonight. I asked the lady at the hotel if there was anything to do and she straight laughed at me.
