Jim, my merc 900 is what I am referring to.

Bill, looking great!

Those are some really nice looking frames.

*sigh* but I like my merc! LOL

Different prop maybe?

Steve, congratulations!

Depending on how reliable my merc ends up being, a newer powerplant looks pretty darn attractive. Nice boat captain!

Boat looks to be in great shape. How much would you want for it? Email me at eoie9432@gmail.com

I have a feeling we will be flying by the seat of our pants on this one. I really can't tell without seeing it up close and personal. I am 100% confident that I can figure it out though.

I am thinking replacement with flexible rubber line is the way to go here. How many years did the original last? Realistically it will be a huge PITA to replace it with stainless line. Looks like your only about an hour from where I work. Let me know if you make it, I am typically very busy but will...

Sharp, if you are near Madison I could help you with the fuel line situation.

Dennis, I got mine at home depot. It works a bit slower than the stuff you were working with but the feeling of imminent death isn't so thick in the air! lol

Looks great, hoping to actually start on my boat soon too!

I was very happy with the job that citri-strip did for me. Easy to work with too!

Good call..

Better safe than sorry.

John, replacing that tire/wheel right now will save you a whole lot of potential headache. Just keep the one that is on there as a spare. I put a new tire on my old boat trailer and it was a bit out of round. It vibrated like crazy! Made for a not so fun trip home.

Evan

Steve are you going to make a jig or something to bend the new ribs around? I will need to do similar work on my boat, I have a handful of deformed ribs on one side.

Evan

This right here, better than TV.

Thanks for the great updates. Very confidence inspiring.
