Had today off from work. Boat this morning, Family this afternoon.
Engine is back in and running. Drive comes in tomorrow. We should be ready for Saturday with time to spare.

ZZ, the gimble and drive both broke. The bottom half of the drive looks fine.
Dutra, didn't you just change the fuel pump? Low or High pressure?

New gimble installed, engine back in, and I even got a check from the insurance guy today.
One item left; drive should be in tomorrow...

I have gotten too good at this...
One thing I will say, this 24' SB is the easiest boat I have ever worked on. Big thumbs up for JC's engine hatch design.

Hey Superbash,
Had not seen many post from you lately, busy boating I hope.

Dutrasystem,
Glad to hear your up and running. Meeting us Saturday?

SB30,
Claudio's wants us there at 11:30.
I would say that we should be ready to roll around 10am.

Pat,

Ok, 10am it is at the Old Saybrook ramp. I'll be in the water waiting. I am assuming you are comming from up river and will swing in to pick up those of us who will be putting in at Old Saybrook. Looking forward to meeting you and the other superboat folks.
