Got some more time in the shop for motor #2.
This motor, like the other one was represented as turn key.
I guess other than the magnet out of the flywheel, windings melted out of the stator, the stator goo ran into and locked up the timing advance, it was water ready.
Luckily FrankenRude III was standing by and gave itself for the greater good.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Yep, seeing progress is a great motivater.
Wet this yr, yes.
Still a ton to do though.
Going to re-engineer cabin entry and dash and will be a huge issue.
But, mounting the bracket and hanging the motors will be huge and allow me to start laying out rigging.
Wont leave me alone on the weight will you
Found a Local scale and hope to get it there within a wk.

Think your making good headway then remember all the little things to be done.
Ugh!
Replaced the orig bow hatch w/a better Bomar unit.
Sounds easy.
Then you remember the front of old one came to a vee, andddddd, the deck/mold was built w/a profile on it, for the hatch to sit on.
And on the new tank I had the filler neck put on the front so you can get a full tank.
Orig was rear fill so w/bow up, you could only get 1/2 a tank in it. And w/fighting capacity already, I want every gallon.
New tank was easy.
Now I have to fill/patch the old filler location and notch the forward floor and stringer for the filler hose.
Ahhhhhhh, custom projects......I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

Gary, you’re doing great. Yes, one thing usually leads to another. Just knock ‘em down one at a time. Your work is top notch. Keep going, brother.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
