Heath,
I wish you all the luck, especially knowing all the time and effort put into that boat. On a side note make sure you have the following to insure success.

So...
Heath said he was splashing the boat friday...
no post friday night....
no post saturday morning...
Heath ! I hope you did not sink it ????

joke aside. How did it go ?

Thanks guys. Naturally it didn’t work out. I was busy with work Friday, and couldn’t break loose til late. Then I had to chase down an oil leak on the front of the starboard engine. By the time I got it fixed, it was too late to run.

I plan to run it tomorrow. I wasn’t able to run it today because my son Dylan and I drove a few hours to pick up a 1970 raysoncraft v drive boat. It’s for my son and son in law to use. I bought it from the original owner. He is 77 years old, and bought the boat new when he was 24. Pretty cool to see my son enjoying it today..

I hope you Son / SIL enjoy the boat as much as the original owner did....

That's definitely a helluva back story to the new acquisition

In other news, there’s this…

WOW!!!
that sounds nice!

and must feel nice too!
thanks for sharing!

how did it go?

We’ve got an oil leak on the port motor intake manifold, a weak trim pump, etc. Normal stuff lol. We saw 72mph at 4300 or so rpm although we weren’t trying to go fast. It was a good day.

I'm not the biggest hip hop or rap fan, but Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" would be about perfect blaring out during the ride in that last video. :drink:
After all your work.

Nope always will be this one.
