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.
Andy

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

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.
