[QUOTE="skyline223, post: 364462, member: 14863"] Just to give a little update on the boat.. I finished the boat portion of the build officially. I got my registration on and now she is ready for public waters. I also swapped the bulky forward seat post and replaced it with a removable thin seat pole. Looks much better and I like the fact that I can remove it and have a flush deck if needed. Finally I did also install a Minn Kota dual bank onboard battery charger. So nice to just hook the whole boat up to the wall and be done! [url=https://imageshack.com/i/idrACcY7j][img]https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/661/rACcY7.jpg[/img][/url] The final phase is to get the motor finished up. I spent some time with it a few days ago and got it running quite well! The only issue is that the water pump impeller needs to be replaced. So after spending quite some time to find a NOS replacement, I will be undertaking the task of replacing it.. along with the help of a local vintage Merc expert. In the mean time I did get the rest of it in some fresh paint.
