[QUOTE="Flat Bottom, post: 179427, member: 4594"] Well here is a little bit of an update. The boat is still sitting with a huge chunk cut out of the bottom. Been waiting on weather to warm up a bit to start welding. Ive put a little bit of money into the motor, which has been a hard desicion for me, it's an 85 suzuki dt140 with it's share of issues, but it does run pretty good, and had good compression. I am just trying not to put more money into it than it is worth. New higher horse outboards aren't free haha :) But ive been having a good time in the freezing cold inside the shop tinkering with it. It wasn't charging so i got a new stator (which was hard to find) but i got it for the right price just in time to figure out that wasn't the problem, so a new rectifier is on the way haha. But i do have some extra parts for this motor that way. Anyways, kind of a boring day here, thought i would report what little progress i have made. [/QUOTE]
