Way to go Bob! We look forward to seeing the finished project.

Can you believe it, I actually worked on the boat Sat & Sun. My wife was busy doing taxes for clients and was probably happy to have me out of the house.

I pulled the tailpipes and headers from both engines so I can start installing the new tailpipes. Of course, glass work is needed where the old tails exited...nothing's easy

The headers are polished and 3 are installed. Transom holes are cut, the old tailpipe holes are filled and transom painting has been scheduled, new power steering pump is in, and more.
Next, I'm installing the new Teague water pickups for the engines; the old pickups will be used to feed the intercoolers.
I'll post photos later.

Hey John,

Boat looks awesome. But it looks like you are still able to find something to tinker with on it. I think maybe it time for some turbines! What do ya think?

Hi Mike-
Great to hear from you. Yeah, there's always something that needs updating and I have a long list.
Turbines? Only if I had the money to put them in a Mystic!

The boat's at Gulf Coast Composite for fairing and painting the transom, plus a few other areas. We're getting there!

This is what takes up most of my time now. She loves put the throttles forward

Teach them early! I did.

Also, the new power steering pump assembly.

Ordered new props through TNT after several discussions with John Tomlinson. He was very helpful (in addition to others) and used his vast experience to get me in the right direction. Thanks Johnny!

Yesterday, I got the Accon lifting eyes installed in the deck above the transom. These match the ones in front of the cockpit.
