Update!
With a confirmation call to Mercury, J.C. confirms that the motors will be here before month end!
In the meantime the transom bracket, Bobs Doublejack, and water pickup has been installed for the forward ballast tank. As luck would have it, an opportunity arrose to send my trailer back to Rolls Axel in Florida to shorten the tongue on my trailer "Loraina Bobbett style" as it was just overall too long. A friend of a friend was headed to Tampa to visit family over the holidays offered to drag my trailer down and back! Perfect timing and that all worked out perfectly. Seats have been set out to Darrell at Unique Upholstery. Things are once again starting to move along, great news indeed!

Thank you Rick for the update photos!

Looking really good Gary.. ..

Thank You Cary.
For peace of mind, I did call J. C. back to go over engine specs/details, glad I did, as the motors ordered were coming with the 1.60 gear ratio. NOT what we spec'ed out, as we want the 1.75's. Glad we checked. but once again this may push delivery back a bit....ARGHHHH...

Always something...

At least my trailer won’t be sticking out my driveway into the road. Tongue was shortened 3 feet.

Looking real sharp.

Thanks! There seems to be quite a bit of activity in the shop! A couple of 21 Eltro CC's have been popped and in process for a dealer on L..I, a buyer who, I believe wants to take one to Florida to use as a flats boat and a 29 CC hull out of the mold is sitting next to my boat. John is attacking the rigging on mine to be ready for the arrival of the motors. I met with Darrell from Unique Upholstery to select vinyl and pattern on mine, a simple design with white buckets and bench with black diamond stitch inserts. It should look sweet!
