TOPIC: Ready to roll er, float!

Finished up today. Gotta go get gas and do a few errands, then come home, drag her down to the Hudson, test the 18P cupped 3 blade merc vengeance prop, see what happens. Have a great labor day all!

Your PC looks great Frank, first rate job. Hope the Vengeance prop does the trick for you. Have a great (and safe!) day.

Been really great to follow your progress on the boat and the motor. I remember when you first had the hull on stands and were just starting the grinding, filling, sanding process. And then the motor and all its foibles.
Makes me happy to see that average guys like us, who don't have tons of money to have someone else do the work, can be successful if we perservere. Great work Frank!! Mike in still sunny Oregon

Thanks Mark. Got out yesterday, came right back in. Waves were so rough, hurt my back. Of course, a few hours later the wind died down, but my back would not allow another try. Maybe today or some night this week. And don't worry about me being safe. I'm overly so!

Yeah, I remember that too Mike. What was I thinking of?!? I don't think I'd do it again, but we wanted a boat, did not and do not have much $, and it worked out great in the end. Thank you, and best of luck to you!
