Notre Dame Crocs in my closet. They stay there. Not because they're Crocs though.

I'm going to get the boat and trailer Sat morning. Leaving here at 7am. Should be a solid, easy ride.

It's home. It has a few nicks, and a couple of quirks. Nothing that can't be fixed. Either way it's mine and I'm happy. I'm going to throw an ignition switch in her, and shes getting the slow charge as we speak. A few other lil things and I'll be on the water, in my boat. Oh yeah I got my ugly numbers too, I'm 3B3. Whatever the heck that means.

Tinkered most of the early day away. Dad came by on my motorpig, and I got the boat fired up.
 Turns out it wasnt the ignition switch, but the fuse holder. Got an Auto-bone unit on there for now. Someone has rewired the boat before, useing mostly yellow and white wires, arrrg. So a lil challenge in the future, no biggie. I took it out for about an hour and a half today. Runs great. The recently rebuilt carb needs a tuning session. No big deal. Theres a flat spot just off idle. Im happy!

So. I've put a few hours on her. Mostly just cruisin' with my wife and lil girl. I love it though. So far I have; replaced the prop, aligned it, removed the gold pin striping on the hull, polished the jeebus outta it, oiled my teak, tried some minor adjustments on the carb, driven it. It needs some hull lovin, and the striping redone. It looks to have been redone at one point, poorly. Runs and bleeding from poor taping in the letters. I'll address that this winter though. Still some days left to cruise. Ive been looking at carpet options, and other options for redoing the interior.
I need to know where to find OE replacement parts, the 2001 dash decal!! and things of that nature. |
