You're doing us such a service with this thread Dave.
Honestly, I'm getting close to putting glass on my little POS toy (until I can afford my Cig ), your pics and explanation is helping. I'm cutting the deck off of it tomorrow - weather permitting. I'll send you some pics, and over the next few months just expect your phone to be wringing...
expect the below phone calls:

"hello"
"OH SH!T!!!! HOW DO I FIX...."

"hello"
"OH SH!T!!!! I MIXED THE RESIN UP IN A SOUP CAN, AND IT'S REALLY HOT AND SMOKE IS COMING OUT...(go ahead and laugh, I've done this - but the fumes were great

"hello"
" Dave, - it's Tim, - I was talking to a guy around here, and he said I needed to replace the canooter valve - from the way the motor sounds, I thinks he's right. Do you have a canooter valve puller I can borrow??"

Tim,

I've never seen a canooter valve go. More likely it's the defibulator on the catastrophic converter. If ya can't find one, just tighten the ole sphincter valve, and give her full throttle..................

Your welcome. Here's a few pictures. We started with a palm beach colored '88 Formula 311.

We are almost done! The deck and cockpit get cleared tomorrow. Then the color sanding and buffing start. Going to dry sand. We have seen the results of the dry sanding process on acouple of local boats and it looks really good. That 3M paper is expensive

Thanks Dave - I'm sure I'll be in touch soon, probably gonna make a run up there in a few weeks, so I'll make sure to hook up with you and buy ya a beer.

The last time I changed the canooter valve it turned out not being the problem, it was the muffler bearings - so I yanked those damn things right the F@@@ out!!!!

i figured by the time i got back that thing would be painted by now.... i think Noah's ark passed me in Indiana somewhere Friday night....

i can see how you missed filling the indicator hole... i will try and mark them more clearly next time...

David

musta been too much "color and contour" got him distracted.
Yo-GD- plan is still on to stop in next weekend.

sounds good- i'll be workin on the cat if ya wanna swing by.


yea sean, when i say that pic is was like. . . D'OH!! . . . i think it was the cables and hardware that made me think to not fill it. the first thing i did was wipe off the marker stuff the second thing i did was forgot what i had just wiped off .

I don`t think that he forgot, He just could`nt find his rectangular hole saw.
