It's actually Kalamazoo (in southwest MI). I'd love it if there was a trip planned on the Big Lake. It's been suggested in the past but not many takers.
Sorry for the hyjackin

Bill, I just used standard white Bilgecoat. I have heard good and bad about it. I just didn't have a place to use the Imron inside. Have used it on cars years back and the fumes are pretty harsh. I would have liked to have used imron though! All in all it turned out pretty decent, hopefully it holds up.

Made a little more progress today. Got the motor sat down in the boat but was rained out. Didn't get much more done. I need to address the carb angle though. Intake must be for a cruiser that never gets on plane!!!! Here are a few pics.

Strip, I plan on raising the center of the hatch as time permits. I just want to splash this thing first. There are some unknowns with the boat, but thats to be expected when you buy a boat with a blown motor! Thanks again, I will get some more pics soon!
