Coen making the mounts

Seems that I would preffer flat of palm on flat of throttle and fingers to wrap around curved side in front

OK, livorsi delivers the throttle as in the picture and JC thinks that the way it was delivered is correct... The throttles look totally Reversable... I still think that the fingers should have the rounded grip side and the palm should have the flat side??? I have looked at about 30 boats with livorsi throttles and about 90% have it the way I would like them??? So anyone actually have the throttles???

Sorry wrong picture... The picture above was what I was imagining... Look at the way they are in the boat again...

When I Ordered Mine I Had Them Put The Throttle On The Other Side So Its Closer To You And The Shifter Wont Get In The Way When Your Throttling He Has Then Backwards

lightspeed, thanks for the input, JC has the throttle to the inboard like yours which is ok by me, but the blue knob itself I wanted to have facing the way that yours is... The blue knob with the hump facing forward and switch inboard for thumb... They do look reversable though... By the way I see your from babylon too, Do you have a picture of your boat to post probably see it around ???

Damn John !!! Did we get alot done today. Workin till 7:30 was a trip. Drives on sea strainer is ready to go in. Exhausts are done and the dash bulkheads are in Plus the motor mounts are done plus some misc. hoses and wires. Ya feel good, .... don't Ya !!!! ;)

PS Thanks Johnny (Lightspeed) for coming by and helping. Couldn't have done it without ya.

RicK in the top Pic, whats the 2 white objects hanging down form the top, bilge vents built into part if the decking???

Thats right Gary. New Coast Guard reg. Need 2, 3" vents now instead of 1.

Rick, great to see the Y2K coming together for a very soon splash !!!!! Very nice to see JD ( Lightspeed ) lend a hand at this time. :D

Rick, I bought the handle that I wanted for the steps, its in a blue bag by the shop door

Great John, Couldn't get the pics up last night. I had my hands full at Kates.

Hands full??? You were supposed to be well rested for boat building...

Hmmm...
Sounds like fun to me.:evilb:

I bet it's getting exciting now! I remember the feeling when your almost on the water. Tic Toc......

Clock Starts ticking slowly the last few days... Rick, Bob and JCjr. along with help from John (lightspeed) and others have come together and helped JC get this boat together. I know now that JC, even though he thought he might be out of commission permanently, thought first about getting this boat completed while not even knowing if he would ever walk again and rattled out the list of things that needed to be completed to Rick and JCjr. while in the hospital the first night... so if anyone ever questions JCs dedication remember this... He thought about getting the boat out first...

John, we could have made our own "Girls Gone Wild" video. BTW. I am soooo in love with your cuz. LOL
Days like that are few and far between. We definately had a blast.
Leaving you guys sucked. Wind blowing 20-30. 4-5 footers in the bay. Didn't make for a nice ride home. Went across to Patchoughe. Spent the night under my console cover in the pouring rain. Thank God for Donny Goodwin. Came by in the morning with coffee and his Gulf card to get me home. The worst night of my life. But it was definately one of the best days of my life. Something about thouse 5' 10" blondes. Gotta luv um. :)

John !!! You mean if your boat isn't done. I have to go through that again ??? Hmmmmmmmm Thats a no brainer LOL. 10th of July it is LOL

Looks like a good time! Dayum, makes you want to go boating.......:D
