Ok guy's a lot has changed and been going on in my life since last post. I bought new house, moved had to redo house, and still not done. But anyway have pulled the 21' mnr out from the back and cleaned it up. been looking around to see what it would cost to have someone build a all aluminum transom. The one guy I've talked with will do it but it was way more than I want to pay,$400.00 to build the frame out of aluminum tubing and skin one side and hand it off to me. either I need to buy a welding machine or find someone cheaper. I think I could do it for about 1/4 or so using wood. I really wanted to do it in aluminum,but.
Oh well so this coming thursday I go under the knife for a abdominal hernia (you can see it in Video,don't laugh) Also have 5 bulging disk in my back and need to probally have surgery to fix them,so now I won't be able to do anything with the boat for at least 6 weeks. I still have the other motor that came with the boat, but a few weeks ago I found a replacement on craigslist for a good deal, same motor 1979 Mercury 115 HP compression 135 to 140 all 6 cyl's Here is a small video of it running . I need to rebuild the carbs and possibly the fuel pump as it wont hold the prime from the tank, but runs and cranks great on the muffs. I'll post more when I get a chance going out of town for work this week.
