After some wheelin' and dealin', burnin' and turnin', I've got the boat back up and running. It only took all of my spring break to get it completed too! Well before my motor blew I had ordered new seats and wheels back in October, had I known what was to come I would have saved that money (Fred's injury and motor cooks itself). Now, after doing some work on Brian's boat and fixing up another motor to trade, a few lessons and so forth I"M BACK BABY!!! I'm so tickled you can't even imagine! I'll post some pics of the finished product later tonight so check back. BTW, I got a smoking deal on a 92' 175 Merc. And tonight's no.s are (with a stock 24 Trophy that came with it) 62.7 at 6200 RPM's. I've gotta go bigger. Hope to see 64 at the end consistently. This is with T load, 3/4 tank and 1/2 in the other and another person. This boat acts completely different from that old 2 liter that came on it. This one's on me tonight fella's!!!
