    Also, regarding the choke assembly.... Does anyone know if this arm is supposed to interact with the pin on the piston arm? I would assume not but its pretty damn close at the moment and the profile of the arm fits perfectly with the pin. If the choke is upside down the pin does actually...

    Alright! So got out to the garage for an hour last night during the snow storm and got the Butterfly valve discs installed with the new screws. Turns out, the screws were perfect for one of the side (maybe even a little long), and on the other they were a few threads short. But.. Im assuming...

    Hey All, another day another day in quarantine! Hope everyone is staying sane. Last night I got the rest of the carb components cleaned up. Not going to say they are perfect, its still a 40 year old carb. But when I got inside it was about a 50/50 split on components that looked pretty decent...

    Also. GOOBERED up the screws getting the butterfly valves out. I remembered someone saying that they are pinned from the back after you out them in. I was hoping to reuse, since the kit didn't come with new ones. But that was a fat joke. I took my roto tool and ground off the mushroomed ends...

    So... I may have hopped on a honey do item instead of testing the battery this weekend.. ​​​​​​Designed and built a rolling kitchen island for our house with pull out trash, 2 drawers, butcher block top, spice rack on the side, and Tupperware in the back.. It's not don't yet, but coming along...

    Hey All! Got repairs at my rental property finished early, cooked up some steaks for the admiral, and then hobbitted myself in the garage last night. Not huge picture progress but it felt good to get things cleaned up. I forgot that there was stuff in the way for me to full buff out the boat...

    Hey all! Back from our volunteer week, such an amazing 6 days helping give hope to kids with life threatening diseases. We even had 2 hours to hike highlands. Quite the push, but always my favorite view from the top!

    Hey Tim (and anyone else who is still listening)! Sorry for the delay, unfortunately I've been having car issues and trying to chase down electrical bugs that the dealer and shops cant find. Super frustrating. Although thats what I get for having a 13 y/o jeep with 165k on her. Not the most...

    I also cleaned off the excess silicone from the rub rails and tried to get them looking prettier, no real chance of that, they are much more beat up than I remember. After looking at replacement options, I dont think it is worth $350 to replace them all. So probably a quick touch up with black...

    Hey all, its been a while but I haven't forgotten about the boat or this thread. When investigating the back seat cushion, which was sitting high, I realized that the base piece is a solid piece of molded plastic, which would require restitching.. and basically defeats the purpose of buying...

    I certainly could however my issue is with the back rest. Not the seat itself. Here are a few more pictures that will hopefully help Height of the seat over the cap with the bottom on the back rest on the deck.

    Hey All! and happy Monday to ya. The weekend consisted of mainly yard work and lots of meeting up with friends, but there was some progress on the boat. Although it felt small, there were quite a few iterations. Got the wiring for the gas tank done. Although this shouldnt have been a difficult...

    So next steps moving forward are: 1. Build Seat Bases 2. Glass Seat Bases 3. Rear Seat Arm Rests 4. Passenger Seat Side Panel (the old seat was an L, we are replacing with a bench for simplicity) 5. Gas Tank Cover (may just clean it up and re-seal 6. Paint floor and walls with white marine...
