Thanks, it's been a good project without too many setbacks. Now that it's "done" I'm thinking of what needs to be fixed on the boat next, to make it even better. The steering is a pain, I want to figure out how to convert the steel rod to a modern cable system. But anyway, my father-in-law took the boat to church yesterday, which was the first time anyone had driven it with the new engine, without me in the boat. Of course, it ran perfect, and now I really feel like it's complete. As complete as any boat like this ever will be, that is. |

All boats are sinking, it's just a matter of how quickly.
