Well it floats, after about a year got the boat in the water for the first time. The good news was it didn't sink, the bad news is still have a engine problem so phase III will have to wait. <br /><br /> http://photos.yahoo.com/qaztoo

Re: Phase II

Floating is good but I thought you rebuilt that engine? And what did you do, put in a different merc outdrive?

Re: Phase II

No, now I wish I did rebuilt it. When I bought the boat it had no out drive and locked up engine. Engine ended up being a little rust on one of the cylinder walls enough rust though that it required smacking the piston with a hammer. When I had the engine apart the crosshatching where still fresh, no sign of any ware, thought all was good. Couldn't find a 1.3 to 1 drive, so just put on a old 888 on it. I think its either the ign. or the cam is off by a tooth or 2. <br /><br />Hopefully phase III, enjoyment, will began soon.
