It's alive, IT'S ALIVE!!!!
I've still got a bunch of stuff to zip-tie and I need to bleed my hydraulic steering, but at least it's running. Oh yeah, I still need to put my swim platform on, but I think that will ba a fall/winter project.

well, it floats
Stupid me had the timing locked at 28* instead of the 32* that it is supposed to be at... It was turning the 26* Bravo 5000rpm. I wonder what I'm missing by having the timing retarded 4*.
haulinvols was there for the launch. He took pictures and video but I've not seen them yet. I post them (or he will) as soon as I can.
I'll try to get some pictures of the bilge tomorrow.

The boat is filthy. I'll take care of that tomorrow as well. Notice the dirty shirt I've got on. As soon as we got done bleeding the steering we headed for the lake.

chris, didn't know you bought the six pack from florida.
I remember seeing the ad, and jo knowing the owner.
It was a good buy if my memory serves me right.
Looks great. I'm jealous.

I was looking at it SEVERAL years ago, back when I still had my 24. That was back when he was asking $10000 for it. It showed back up on EBay after I blew the coupler on my Profile. It never got any bids. I ended up getting it cheaper than the auction... Of course it cost me more money and took more time than I had planned. I should have been running last year. It had a solid transom when I bought it. I told him to take it to the factory and have Jo cut the hole for a Bravo. He said that he could do it; done it hundreds of times. Well, it was about 2" low and .5" to the right. Oh well.
