Wow people probably thought you were insane taking the boat to the lake in the snow. Very cool read about the Trans-Am. Feel free to drop it off to me in Dallas for paint correction and ceramic coating before driving it back up North

Yea found new w 5warr for $1575 you can find used ones
Found a few and only wanted $1200 BUT have to find them around you or shipping will kill the savings.
But hey how cool it will be to have one! And make everything underneath easier..

Yep, lifts are cheap but I don’t want to give up that much shop space.

Did get some me time out in the shop and used it to correct some issues that surfaced last time out w/the Convincor.

Port primer died, but the back up squeeze bulb worked perfect.
Ends up the pump died after maybe 2 mins run time!
The good:
It came from Summit Racing who replaced it (no exchange) for free and had it the next day!

Starboard trim gauge didnt work.
Was bad sender on motor and got replaced.

Neither water pressure gauges worked and may have cleared blockage from both, at motor end.

Made a protective cover for the fuel fill hose.
Been a while since I did any glass work so figured, what the hey?

Next will be trouble shooting the port ignition.
