Dead in Winter

**home made tunnel** · 01-09-2020, 12:14 AM

This thread is dead in the winter - - - Did all the florida boys put their boats away too, like us up-north Folks?

I'm elbow deep in infant spit-up, twin mercruiser rebuilds, new upper-management job interviews, and looking to hire a contractor to build a house for us.

What are YOU all up to? besides leaving this forum to be boring over the last month or so lol (I kid, I kid).

Then have a few back surgeries hopefully done before the beginning/middle of March because recovery will be long and want to get mids installed(not be a supervisor but if I have to, to get them done),) before the end of May!..

I check the site daily. Still plugging along on my Hydrostream rebuild. Deck is half way completed. Hope to have it back on the hull this month. I tend to update the thread a bit less frequently with larger updates of progress completed. As it sits now.

83 days left !!! GAAAAAH! (April 1st deadline). That's the 1st day I can have the boat on the mooring, so thats the day i'm shooting for.
Motors are 95% back together - just need to do some hose work and fix some seawater pumps.
Then I have to tear apart the lower units and transom assemblies. I think those will go much faster than the engines did.
