    Bow hatch reconfiguration.
    Looking good! Plenty of air flow in there now
    Oh you don't have the hardware off the old hatch do you?

    Was looking at new hatches only because some idiot forgot to lock the latch before leaving for a road trip and flew open at 70 mph and broke the latches/arms
    Did t scratch anything else luckily.

    Pulled the motors down to prep for paint.

    Being Fla motors I also pulled all the p.head bolts to make sure they'll come out when I get time to build the hot rod p.heads.
    Luckily they did.

    Also found 48" slides for the bimini top that Ill be adding.
    Did this on the old Sonic and loved it but they werent 48".
    This will allow me to slide it far enough forward to cover the cabin entry for dew/rain when we're staying on the boat, driver and copilot seats.
    Slide it aft and cover the bench seat and the sun lounge.

    A nice lil bonus in the parts I bought.

    The popped 250 has new:

    power pack
    stator
    coils
    plug wires
    Chris Carson reeds
    balanced big rods
    all new bearings
    virgin 225 late model carbs

    Yay

    That will all go one of the existing p.heads.

    My previous 3.3 project, has same and will donate it all to second motor.

    So if rotating assemblies are solid....., we’ll be good.
