Small update

[draglink]

This picture was from last weekend, been raining here most of the week. Anyway, the only part of the engine left on the boat is the intermediate housing. Took the powerhead off to be rebuilt, took the bottom section off to replace the steering shaft. Lower unit will get new seals as well. As far as the boat goes all I have done is add the boot stripe and the 'Wellcraft' decals. When I set her in (next week?) I will decide where exactly to strike the bottom paint.

Looks great!

btw, will you be leaving it in the water? If not and the bottom has never been painted, consider leaving it virgin...

Hey thanks! Yep she will stay in the water(7 months) for the most part. Besides boating on the weekends I love coming home after work and going for a cruise....thats to much PITA to put over every time!

I totally agree with RKC...she's looking great. Shame you gotta paint bottom, but I agree that it's a pain to launch every night kinda thing.
Good luck with her

It hurts my heart to see you have to paint the bottom of that pretty thing.

Im with yall 100% on the bottom. It isnt virgin though, its been soda blasted so it would need a barrier coat anyway.

If $$ werent so tight right now Id love to put in a lift- problem solved!
