thanks guys!! been hard at it and trying my best to kick it's butt, for a while there it was kicking mine :eek:

[Raceman]

Ain't it amazin' how some of this stuff seems to have gremlins livin' in it that keeps you from gettin' stuff done, or at least gettin' it done easy?????? The stuff is gettin' where it aggravates me so bad it's almost not worth the trouble.

Looks good Skip! Stay on it's back and get it in the water. The sooner you do the happier you'll be.

Your almost there. Just think how long it will be before you have to do something like this again??

[Scott]

Lookin Good Skip!

Funny, my first thought was..."why dosent he do this in the off season?"....remembered, you don't have an "off season" LOL

Looking good. We rushed the V4 to be able to see the water this season planning on stripping it over the winter and having it much nicer next season, now I'm not sure I'll mess with it! It's a P.I.T.A. 4 sure!!

Go Skip Go!

Sea ya in a couple weeks!

[Talon2.5]

what started this whole thing was my tuner fell off in the mid section and had a hell of a time trying to get the old salt water motor apart but with shorepounders torch at work got it all apart then comes the snowball effect........well i could do this while it's already apart, oh and could do this, oh might as well do this to ;)

now i have found out from the shop that does my lower units that my case is bad and i need another one :eek: i have a 2 hole CLE case in the garage that came with the motor when i bought it, we may be able to use that but the lower unit guru is going on vacation and so am i :D so that will come later

rumble first :D

[heath brinkley]

Looks good, I'll be doing mine this winter. what did you paint it with? Imron, Awlgrip, ??

[skatermike24]

Know what your talking about just went through the same thing with one of my motors, good luck

[Talon2.5]

i used Omni CV, PPG's equivelant to imron, single stage with reducer and hardener

[heath brinkley]

Cool, wasn't sure what would hold up best with the heat and the water.
