Just checking in. Haven't had a whole lot of time...family issues.. but i have ordered my 3m full face respirator and picked up angle grinder. Have been trying to find a cherry picker to pull engine but nothing i have found will work. May just have to beef up the rafters in shed and do it that way.

Yup a couple of 2x4's from the ground up should do the trick or you can build a simple gantry pretty easy.

No help on your project but we have a 86' (I think) 19 ft bow rider citation with a V8...Nothing but fun!! Great boat,just keeps goin! Good luck.
Gotta love naming a boat "citation" After a few cocktails we use to say "We're a floating citation" Good stuff

Well just checking in again. Haven't given up on boat... yet. My mom was in a motorcycle accident this past Saturday. She was going north and a car going south was waiting to make a left when a car coming south swerved at the last minute to miss car waiting to turn and hit her head on. She was severely injured and looking at the car that hit her and her motorcycle i don't know how she's alive really.

That's terrible. I pray she makes a good recovery and that she's good surgeons hands, sounds like swerving car heading south was driving too fast or not paying attention to traffic in front of him/her.
