It has been a busy summer. The boat still is not complete. But that didn't stop me from a ride!! My son and I launched it with no problems. It started and ran very well. I took it out on the bay here and enjoyed the cruise. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb128/waddlep2000/Project%202007%201965%2...
