A couple of long days and this is what we got together...the steering (mostly), the trib tabs and pumps mounted (use a template for anyone doing this in the future,lol ), and the gauge wiring harness dismantled from the superboat and installed along with the pump wiring 
You need to just go get one of Bigandy's carbs for the time being, since he won't need them anytime soon.

Chad needs to get the exhaust tips and then the engine compartment will almost be complete. Now it's time to wire and plumb.

I wish I could say you were right about Trojan's boat running next weekend but we still have a LOT of work ahead of us. I never want to do fiberglass work again.

Did you guys get a new mount for the front of the engine. I saw an oil pan the other day,that they fixed the clearance problem by very delicatley bashing the front of the pan to clear the offshore mount.

We should have the mount problem taken care of. I am using the different offshore mount out of the superboat, it is a GIL. The stringers in the superboat are way closer together than the banana, so Dr. Blackwood is welding an extension plate onto the mount so she will bolt up.
