Got it in the water tonight. Didn’t get to really do a test run I really just needed it off the trailer. Got an appointment to get new tires for the trailer in the morning.
I still have some work to do on the interior, really just need to get the backseat back in, the wall it attaches to and the front cushion on the engine hatch that my wife restitched the seam on.

it needs good cleaning to…….its dirty from all the work it’s taken.

Got about 15-20 hours on the boat. Been idling up and down the lake. The rebuilt motor has been issue free however the port motor not so much. The port motor at first would only run for 5-10 minutes and quit. Then after a while and it would run for upwards of an hour putting around with out issue. Tried to get the boat on plane and the motor spit and sputtered. So at this point I’ve only gone as fast as 7ish mph. I have not done anything to the carbs so I was going to start by rebuilding both carbs and go from there, seems like the most logical place to start as I believe this is fuel related, but just guessing at this point. This adventure has no end in sight 😁
