What's Y'alls Winter Project

Thanks i,m learning my new trade lol

Gary don't go eatin no yellow snow haha

Got the 2.4 200 hp powerhead rebuilt and close to finishing the 15 inch cut down mid. Gary see you called last night will get back to ya.

Some of you guys have a lot more skills than me. I was happy to get my newly acquired engine and hull mated together and everything working like it should. Time for a shakedown run if we can get a decent day of weather here in NC.

Cool Jay!! I owned a 300 acre ranch just outside of Harper, Tx from '80 till I sold in '07. Son & I worked up fantastic loads for our 300 Weatherby Mags and made 450 out to 1000 yd shots on those porky's from our deck on regular basis.
Built my rifle out of a 1957 Win. model 70 my dad bought new. Installed a thumbhole, custom 26" heavy douglas barrel, reworked trigger and 50mm objective leupold....we used brakes on both!!!
I sure miss those days down there but traded for retiring here in the Kiamichi Mountains and Fishing!!

I picked up a 1969 Byerscraft hydro with Merc 75H clone on the back. The hull is solid but needed the throttle and steering replaced. The motor is a direct reversing 75A so I was able to hookup and electric start key switch.The problem I'm working on now is the speedmaster lower which didn't have a water pump since it was used on an alky racer back in the day. Having the whole thing reengineered by a local machinist who's a genius with outboards.
