OK ya, real quick, that 32 footer is pretty cool, but yup, I'm good here.
Matter of fact, believe it or not, with what I have here on the property, my MBS is
nearly cured! Seriously:becky:

Well, I couldn't quite get the stars to align to get the Sea Ray out for a run unfortunately. And, she seemed to be getting pretty comfortable sitting out there. I didn't want her to get the wrong impression that she'd be here any longer than necessary, so, I started in on driveline removal.
Here's the outdrive pulled...
Everything looking good there!
After that, I removed all that stern structure for easy access to the V8...
The rust I'm seeing is pretty much on those front side pulleys basically from a shotty rotted out dog house.
Everything else looks darn good so far!
This morning, under cloak of darkness, headlamp on, I knuckle busted and had some general blood letting as I unbolted, disconnected electrical and unhooked all the plumbing. So, the big Merc is prepped and ready for flight:thumb:
