Mines minor.. Headed to MDG in a few weeks to get the carbs and idle smoothed out since I suck with carbs. Got a fan to circulate air through the cabin. Going to try and finish the stereo system. Maybe add/replace lighting with LED... Whats on your list?

Get it back from Smith Power with new top ends and some other good stuff. Then drive it like I stole it.
After the engine and drive work just a stereo and swim platform to get me through the summer. Next winter interior and gauges if I don't break it!

I've got to put in a few new gauges myself, now that I think of it.. The plexiglass face cracked on a couple of them.

New indicator cables for the drives. One of my steering rams has started leaking over the winter so a rebuild on them and plan on replacing the rubber hoses with stainless braided lines. New JL Audio amp to replace the Sony that overheats and shuts down. Lastly new Batteries and raw water pump impellors.

Mark, I noticed that one of my indicator cables is also cracked. I'll be adding that task to my list.

Not much this year for me... Or should I say "The Flying Mechanic" Remedy.. LOL... Only replacing the waterpump and getting my fuel pressure gauge to work. This year will be very low key as far as boating goes. Mrs. OCD and I are determined to be Florida residents by August 2013.... So OCD is won't be going too far this year. Worth the small sacrafice to be able to use her 9 months a year rather than 3.
