Was a scary moment it almost didnt get high enough i had a half inch to slide it under lol but awesome part was i backed it right under the first time, i cant even park at home depot that perfect lol, now to decide on ss screws or rivits to the connection

 

[mickyryan]

Got a free donor boat for ebgine and trailer , engine looks brand new like it was a summit rebuilt with crome valve covere and dominator manifold of course those. Overs got to go but not sure about the intake , im hoping to do closed cooling so i dont think ma ifold will be a issue

 

[mickyryan]

The boat was left at storage place where we rent a storefront, the boat looked as if it had a fresh restore all new upolstery, sad to throw it all away but i dont know anyone with this type of boat its a 19 or 20 ft capri . ..

Technically, by those pics, it not really connected.......

I am admiring those winches you have on top of the gantry.

 

[mickyryan]

they worked very well , i went and got some 4 gauge booster cables from home depot and used that for feed wire crimped some ends on it with my handheld hydraulic crimp tool, I need to purchase new rub rail as well ugh !

 

[AShipShow]

[mickyryan]

My workshop is so disorganized now that several times I've had to use "wrong" tools because I can't find the right ones I know I have somewhere. One of these days I'm going to have to straighten my mess out

 

[mickyryan]
