Splashed boat, Finally!
 

Finally got my 1970CC wet for the first time yesterday. The shakedown cruise was a resounding success thanks to all the mechanical help from my friend Pat. He posted some pictures at boatzone. I think the steering box will have to be replaced and the binnacle, but that's minor stuff at this point. I may learn to live with the I/O setup after all. She topped out at 27, but the rpm count is unconfirmed because I think the tach needs replacing too. Again minor. Can't wait to start fishing off of her. Now if it would quit raning for a few days around here.

Hey there. If your the yellow 20, and your buddy posted on tidalfish.com, NICE looking boat. Did you paint the boat? Where did you find her? Jason

Here's some pics from the shakedown run, went pretty well, one small oil leak(hopefully I got that fixed today!), and we got some issues with the shifter, but I'm on it [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I certainly have learned more about sterndrive theory than I ever wanted to know, but I'll add it to the library of stuff in my head, and it's there for anyone to pick at [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...e/fbdf89a6.jpg

I bought her in Stevensonville, MD from a guy who actually lives in Fairfax, VA. He bought it out of Miami. He was the one that had it painted (imron) and put in the T top. It used to be mutard yellow. He also put in a leaning post but it is too big for the boat. Most of our work has been on teh engine and the sterndrive. Plenty there to do.
