So I have had this boat since the middle of summer. I had it on the water once and it dies about 200yds off shore. Had her towed back in and that is
when the fun began. Took it to a nearby marina. Found th fuel pump diaphram
was warped. replaced it and got it running. Ran a compression check, results were not good. #3 and #4 had less than 10psi of compression. Piston rings are gone on #4. Pulled the power head and disassembled. Its a mess and a force.
For the last few month I lost my motivation to work on her. I did start to pull the old floor up, or what I thought was the old floor. One of the PO's covered
the original with new plywood, joy. For the last week while it has been below
freezing I decided it was time. So this saturday, after a week of true, hard research, the time has come to truly start the restoration. It starts on saturday and I will post pics. Any advice and suggestions will be welcome as I go through this fun.
