The interior is back in. And the engines back on, along with the tunnel tab. Off to put a little fuel in it tomorrow, and make some tank sticks, will mark dowel rods at 5 gallon increments. The opti's use so little fuel that I rarely put more than 15 gallons per side in. Most of our runs are about 100 miles.

Sponges, they keep dirt, bugs, water, out when towing or stored. A Florida Dirt Dobber Wasp, can ruin an engine with the dirt nests they build. I remove the sponges at the boat ramp.

:poopoo:Don't take this the wrong way but why didn't you move the graphics before putting the tunnel tab on? All of your stuff is top notch but to me I think you missed the boat on that.

That is vinyl, peels right off, it is not under the tunnel tab ,but around it. It's there for all the- 1,2,3,4,5, engine Yamaha powered boats to see as the Mercs glide past.

i know the Skater Guys tried to help me out, the some how removed they sea deck flooring and stored it during the tank replacement. But they used contact cement to put it back down. I already had replacement sea deck made. It took 2 hours to peel the stuff out and 3 hours to remove the contact cement. The new flooring is in.

It's ready, added fuel, started them one at a time, bled oil tanks. Adjusted trim indicator cables, set engines to dead straight, raised engines 1/4" for new water ramps.

I'll be at the Cudjoe house on Thursday. Come on down and I'll adjust the boat lift bunks for your testing. Looks great.
