Well i'm not going to say that she is done, but she floats and is fishable! I took her out to Saguaro on Saturday, had a few problems with getting the bilge pump to turn on, a wire or fuze must have come loose while I was mounting the fuze box. She leaks from somewhere and I had to keep an eye on bilge pump and water level. Im thinking of spray lining the exterior of the hull with something to seal it. The old 35hp Mercury did great all day, but when I was coming into the dock and hit the no wake zone, she died and wouldnt hold an idle. Perhaps the carb needs to be blown out or something, the motor hadnt ran like this since 2009 and has sat for the past 3-4 years.
Ill be hooking up the navigation lighting this week, bought a new trailer wiring kit, bought a propane grill that ill mount onto the side of the boat, need to build the bow storage, hook up the radio, and a few more odds n ends, might even take it back out this weekend, Bartlett or Pleasent...
