It Floats!
 

got the RR wet today. took her through the canal and back tot the marina. Motor runs great!

Disabled the VRO on the old V8 OMC and am running mixed fuel.
need to replace the tilt then i can see how she runs. Motor is trimmed up a good bit and def wont plane off.

that 8 foot beam has so much room!

Thanks again Ken and Dan for all the help!

Took a bit to get the motor going. took the air box off and sprayed some starting fluid in the carb, still nothing. then some guy from across the way yelled "Kill Switch!" .....VROOOM :lolhit:

Awsome six


Glad to here she's running

Lots of room for such a small package huh

gotta love outboard sutphens!

Cool! Post some running photos when you have them!

lots of room! forgot to take pics, tomrrow i am gonna wash it down so i'll take some then

Pics. we need pics, enjoy it they are great boats

Didnt get to take any pics this weekend. decided to wash it down instead. simple green and magic eraser are awesome. boat is in great shape. 5200 some old exposed screw holes inside on the inner transom.

found some spider cracks on transom just under the bracket under the port GIL mount. Had to come back to work offshore for 3 weeks. when i get back i'll fix the tilt and trailer it over to cape coral to the factory to get it checked out. and see how she does with the big single OB, and get some running pics, other than that i am extremely happy.

so i've been offshore for 2 weeks browsing pics of other boats and such.
the black carpet in the cockpit gets sooooo hot in my boat. i want to change it! i would like a bare white deck, gelcoated with a nonskid print, but i am thinking about marine teak.

Whatcha think?

I like the sea deck if your gonna use either one. The Teak look I think will make the boat look OLD. Unless thats what you after is that classic look then you can go teak. It will make that 80's boat look 70's though IMO

i dont want the inside to feel like a surfboard pad or wakeskate. i might just gel coat it white and thow down some sugar or salt. then put another coat.
