Been on vacation, but back now and boat is progressing again. Have the bilge painted and new motor in. Found a local guy to do the console and he's filling all the holes so it will be a blank canvas to re-fit. Waiting on just that now before maiden run.
Mechanic ran the engine before he put it in and said it sounds great! Can't wait to get it out on the water.
New motor with old tranny attached.
I also pulled out all the old wire today and will start the re-wire this weekend. The previous owner had used some kind of garden hose as bilge pump hoses, I also pulled all that out.
