[oldrem]

thinking for where the windlass would mount a substitute

Looks a bit more foreboding than the "ma deuce" I was contemplating

 

[kcassells]

Is that for Crabs?

Sorry Micky
Kc threw out the perfect set up so I felt obligated to take a swing ..

 

[mickyryan]

I don't blame ya

well i finished wet sanding and polishing other side, no wax on hull yet i figured i would let it gas out awhile before polishing once more and shining up with wax or poly polish I am thinking tomorrow i will rebuild gantry's and prep for recapping as the rest of the stuff i think i would be better served doing with it together to be sure i can get to it if i needed to instead of putting stuff on and recapping then realizing i cannot acess something.

luckily i knew engine was shot , i mainly wanted it for all accessory's and the outdrive and that stuff but wow that block has some rust in it , the valve cover's had rotted through and i guess just let moisture in after that

 

[chevymaher]

LOL what you mean that motor is just broke in. Hull looks good.

 

[zool]

Looks ok to me, Did u try spraying some ether in the carb? :noidea:

 

[mickyryan]

I was thinking maybe its a italian engine and just needed a wee bit of olive oil to get it goin , you know season it

 

[kcassells]

Looking forward to more full size pics. I know it's under cover and tucked in the side yard.
Nice!! work Mick.

A little naval jelly and elbow grease would get that motor shined up in no time - never mind the pits :laugh:

Hey chevy, i painted my Bilge today no pics it was so bright the camera kept screwing up with the glare i will try to get some after sun goes down I think I am going to try to put all the things i can into hull before i cap to save trips over the gunnel's lol
quick note after almost 6 months in weather i cut a hole through my plywood on hull where there had been standing water and the wood was 100% dry so lanco roof sealant has kept it waterproof and humidity proof .this isn't a area that gets walked on or ever seen its in the hull before top cap or i might have used a different product.
