Next steps: Cleanup wires & plumbing in bilge Pull engine1 apart and freshen Pull engine 2 apart and freshen Put drives back together Re-rig boat Install digital trim indicator |

All kidding aside its looking great. Looking forward to seeing it hit the water and what the performance increase will be.

It's been a week without an update. I'm hoping it's because you've been spending so much time on the boat that you haven't had time for the update!

Ok, so here is an update Pulled engine 1 apart looking for blown head gasket, no blown head gasket. Really thought I was chasing a cracked cylinder head but it looks like the issue was a failed intake manifold gasket. Heads will be dropped off Friday for a valve job and reassembly. Engine will be flushed and cleaned this weekend. Drives are at sandblaster - lead time, 3 weeks then off to powder coater All holes have been drilled and sealed in the transom. 3 coats of Interlux primer applied, Interlux Perfection goes on this weekend! http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...psmosvrnxs.jpg http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...psn65gp1gn.jpg |

Had a setback with the transom. Started to put some of the gloss coat on and was not happy with the surface. I had some low spots that I just didn't see the first time around (first time doing major fiberglass work so learning as I am going). Decided to sand everything off and take a second stab at making the transom flat! Well after hours and hours and hours of sanding, I finally got it to where I was happy. I also got my cylinder heads back and plan to slap the engine back together this weekend. Drives are back from powdercoat and waiting for a few odd bearings before I can put them back together. Transmissions are being rebuilt. I am hoping she is ready for a water test by second week of June!
