And although I know not necessary, instead of washers I made some 3/16 plates for the inside. I've search a lot and seen a lot of recommends for bolt torque, but just want to verify the information still holds true as a lot are older threads. The transom is two 3/4 pieces of Coosa and 1708, total thickness is 2", so 35-40ft lbs does that sounds right?

Sounds about right. I went 50ft/lbs, I have a plywood transom.

I went 40ft lbs and it seemed to work perfectly. I also hung the mid section and got the seastar bolted back on. Started on re-wiring last night and got all the gauges and trim switch ran. Mounted the hot foot and bolted the steering wheel back on. Just making my way towards the back while I wait on my base gasket for the powerhead.

Nice clean job all round there. I hear ya on the parts thing, it’s really a huge challenge during a build to have what you need on hand the moment you need it. Even the pro shops suffer from parts and material struggles and that’s not meaning COVID back orders either

Little by little, it's coming together. The vinyl showed up, so I made the stripes and center strip on the splashwell delete to match the front pattern. Got the rigging hoses, cables, wires, and everything ran to the motor. Working on battery and fuel tank mounting this week. Looking to fire it up and if all goes as planned a water test next weekend.

Is there some sort of check valve set up on the breather filter? I would be concerned about fuel spilling out of that. Even with a line mounted up to breather in the splash well I still get some spillage.

Fuel tank went in last night along with the new battery tray. Filled up with fresh fuel and fired it up. I'm just left with bleeding the steering and check over all my bolts. From there its ready for a water test. First fire up video attached.

Should pop right on plane with the weight foreword like it is. Might be able to use a little positive trim too. Looking real nice

Took the boat out this weekend for the first time since re-core.
Everything went well, just going to have to learn how to drive it all over again. It gets on plane ridiculously easy, and almost all of the porpoising is gone. I did run into some running issues near the end of the day and found the needle seat had backed out on the lower carb, but was able to limp the boat back in. I am still running a stock lower unit for now, so the motor is a bit low which seems to causes the boat to lean left under power, until getting on above a certain mph and trim. Is that common on these? Snapped a few pics and attached them.
