Finally in the Water!!!

[CMBarnes]

It has taken 1 and 1/2 years of restoration but she finally went swimming this past Saturday. After only a few minutes I realized that all the work, money and beer were worth it. The boat is a '75 23 center console with floatation bracket and twin '99 200 Merc EFI's. She ran great and turned heads all day long (The awlgrip Ice Blue looks great on the water). I will take pictures this week and post them if someone can explain how to do that. I am so excited!! Thanks to everyone here who has provided advice. Best site on the internet!!

Congratulations CMBarnes! Would you mind telling how much your boat weighs? What was the previous engine(s)? Capt Chuck wrote the instructions below in one of his posts a while back.
