g3jim Topic Author Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 1009 Karma: -27 Thank you received: 0	she should do alright. I went though her top to bottom about a year and a half ago. We ran it and then winterized it but it has been sitting since while the boat was being done over. I fired her up the other day and yesterday. Looking forward to Saturday.

Thank you received: 0

finally got on the water for a test today. I think a different prop a little more time adjusting the throttle cable and we will be close. It would be good to have a driver so I can clean things up a bit at the motor.
Seats have to go in, glass has to go into the windshield frame.
Beautiful day regardless!!!

PS is there someone that repairs/restores the Air Guide tachometers????

I hope mine sounds as good when I get it on the water next summer. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I passed you on 495 when you were heading South with it, didn't beep cause you looked focused on where ya were going! I like those flow through windshields, easy to clean!
