swim ladder and OMC sea drive.  Got to get rid of the sea drive next.  the engine is a 140 hp two stroke... and yes the VRO was disconnected.  Pre mixing will be a pain in the butt.  the "sea drive" unit w/o outboard was about 250 to 275lbs.  it's a heavy chunk of aluminum.  it contains hydraulics for power trim/tilt and steering.  Will drop it like a bad habit ASAP.

v 20's just after the rain.  Been dogged by crazy weather.  One day it's tee shirt weather than next day you gotta bust out the wool coats.

end of the day and both bottoms painted...just in the nick of time.  Next is rewire, addition of electronics, bimini, and repower (the sea drive really needs to be put to pasture)
