Tearing apart the donor boat

Man... I am getting withdrawals being away from this place. This past week was CRAZY busy and it looks like the next two are the same way. I am not complaining at all. You have to get while the gettin's good! I just cannot hang out here as much and read threads. 

Keith/Arc/Bob... I need to catch up on your threads. 

I had a little time this weekend to get a little work done and get you guys updated on videos and pictures. 

Update time,

1. I have 90% of all the parts sold off that old boat, and I am happy to say I have all the money I need to complete the project right. 

2. All the polishing is complete and most of the trim is back on and polished.

3. I installed the new Attwood chrome vents, blower and new vent hose. 

4. Installed and wired the new 750GPH Auto Bilge Pump

5 My lovely wife scrubbed the boat from bow to stern and got it looking really nice. She took Xylene to the vinyl seats and the ground in dirt came right out. The seats look new

6. Teak oiled all the wood on the boat.

Next weekend I just might put her back on the trailer and start getting the gimble and the outdrive ready for paint. I am going to shoot them with a two part auto paint for durability. I need to make a small paint booth for that.

After that I will order the Engine and get ready for a test run! My goal is late April.

Ok so enough gabbing, here are some videos and pictures
