I have bought a boat that has seen better days, just pulled the engine, so far it seems only one thing works in the engine compartment, the tilt pump ran, there was much rejoicing.

It's nice to have good neighbors, what a mess, so old block froze and busted, other side looks worse, what a shame, under 400 hrs, found an intake at summit racing, fit well, and I will be setting it back in today, gotta get that gantry back to work before someone needs it.

We got the upholstery redone, topside and in the bow, re-sealed the hatches and side windows, those were way fun to take out! The seats topside had totally rotten frames, all the wood just fell apart, guess having woodwork as a hobby payed off! Got the stove cleaned up and working on gas, the electric already worked, even put a new head in.
