Update:
Towed the boat up to the lake. Still have a few details to finish, waiting on more grey paint of the cowling. There was a hint of tiger striping, when I started to clear, so when the paint comes in, ill finish that up here and put the stickers on.
I still have to install the vhf antenna, fix the fuel gauge issue and some other electrical.
I launched today, it ran fine at slow speed, no stalling when shifting or anything. Starts instantly. Couldnt get it over 1800 rpm, so I thing I have a fuel issue since I cleaned the carbs but didnt link and sync. Maybe the timing advance level is gunked up, or the throttle cable isnt pushing full in sync. It wil rev up high manually with the cowling off on muffs, but not with the controls. So Ill have to work that out.
Still had a nice cruise about a mile to the dock.
It was windy and rough when docking, with a lot of boat traffic, and I broke off the rear mooring whip base and bottom, which fell into the lake. Ill try to retrieve it when they draw down the water level, but I ordered new parts for now.
