Hey Kev!!
Was thinking about you so I thought I’d drop a line. Hope all is well with you and yours. Give me a call when you have time and we’ll do some catching up!!

Mick,
All I want to do is put this boat in the water and sail away, catch fish.
Major years long issues with my better half with home care, palliative care hospice.
It's what I have and the boat is well , a someday thing.
Get the motor up to snuff, accent the cabin, pull a few more wires etc.
Like I said "Someone will really like this boat".
Just what it is and I am not complaining.
Anyway... as I am, Duck off. LOL!

I totally understand that situation. Guys like us... when we can't play with the toys we have, we build more for that "one day".
I hope you at least get a day here and there. Enjoy those for now.

Still kickin it. Finally had a mobile engine mechanic come out to help with the engine.
I got great compression on my readings off 110-105, spark is good, He's is giving the carbs a sonic bath at this time and a rebuild.
I did do a rebuild awhile back but like that I have another set of eyes and hands on it now. Glad the strator is in good shape too.
My flywheel magnets are loose /fell off. So that's going to be a OMC epoxy kit plus some new magnets. I was very lucky considering I had dropped the engine on its side 1x prior a few years ago. Picked up misc. parts for engine from Crowleys marine, ebay and Marine engine. $$$$$$
Also started fixing cracks in the upper and lower engine cowls with epoxy.

Recommendations for rattle can primer and white paint for ole 1986 johnson vro engine paint job.
Pretty much have the repairs done cept fer some minor fairing. Going to prep, prime, paint cowls and mid/lower sections of outboard. Read a lot of variations so just want simple stupid.
Any decal sellers you know would also help.
Thanks
