Cool Tony,.......
I just bought a couple 350s dressed as Alphas from my Bud, Bobby,....
Take-outs from a cigarette barge he junked out last year,....
Pre-Vortec bobtail motors, with quadra-jet carbs,.....
Slightly hotter cam, but smooth idle,..... All built by Bobby,....
I'm
Excited,....
Bob's gonna help me drop 1 into an ole Nova 240 I'm gonna "Junkyard Dog" for this year,....
Bare essentials, enough to float, go fishin', 'n go Boatin' in,.....
My ole tinbarge is either goin' to the scrapyard, or possibly on the front lawn,.....
I
Ain't gonna put it back in the water to use,
Ever again,...
I've also been movin' forward with my ole Old Town Atlantis project I've been sittin' on, hoardin' parts for, for way too many years,....
Got the transom almost done with the close-in, recut the keyhole,....
'bout to do the final glass, 'n then slap the late model Bravo HP transom assembly in,....
Started cuttin' out the deck, 'n stringers,.....
Little to no rot, but they've gotta be moved, to move the motor forward,..... ain't decided, 20", or 24",....
Decided to move the stringers, all the way to the cutty, for better fuel tank fitment,....
Originally only 23" tween the stringers, gonna be 32', 'n some bulkheads,....
Good Luck Bud,......
