New stern eyes to replace originals removed & plugged.

Port stern engine bay.... Clean enough Fred?????

I am currently working on engines (really GOOD ones!!) N.A. of course... but very nice ones. Rebuilding the drives also. The U-joints were shot, so I suspect internal bearing need inspection along with the cone clutches...... The cabin upholstery & new macerator head will have to wait until next winter I am afraid.

I'm still looking for some #188 casting square port heads (2 each) & I need a little "charity" on them.......???? Please????

More to come.

VERY nice! Good job! You must be tired!

Damn nice job! What did you paint the bilge with?

Thanks, My wife told me I never "bonded" with my 312 Formula like I did with the blown 252SS Formula....... I am more "bonded" with this than I have been with anything- EVER!! I'm just glad I enjoy things like this or I would be in trouble!

The white is four coats of Rustoleum and the bilge is Bilgecote....

I tested the Rustoleum with gas & oil before I used it. Holds up real well. Especially since you cannot find the white bilgekote stuff anywhere local & it is a hazardous material to ship.

Just imagine if you had not been in a cast what you could have gotten done!! Looks great. Care to say how many hours of love you have put into it so far.

looks nice, real nice. I always wondered why it took so long for Fred to sell that boat. What do you think you will have it all said and done?

Everything looks excellent! You obviously put alot of "time" and thought into all your improvements and upgrades. Is this boat going to float this summer? Steve
