Thanks guys . Just needed to get up and get some air and sunshine . Quick walk around the yard to keep things moving . Everything is a mess ! lol ! New shaft and tank . Looking to order 2-1/2” ID exhaust hose and find some new motor mounts .
Life is a thing ! Just off a fresh back surgery on Friday . Pain meds starting to kick in . lol !
Hope it works for my incredibly painful sciatic nerve problems . A little different procedure this time than last .
I hope everyone is doing well !
Small update on the CC . Got a new SS shaft made...
My Gators bring home their 3rd National Basketball Title !!!!!!

Hung in there and got it done !!!!!
GO GATORS 🐊🐊🐊!!!!!
All my boats are like old . LOL !
As a kid my boating usually meant hard work ! Being a striker on a shrimp boat , snapper boat , crabbing commercially . Luckily that’s out of my system and now at 61 I get out at least once a month weather permitting. But usually it’s with a group of old farts...
Thanks Mike ! Good to hear from you . I just turned 60 but my back and knees feel more like 80 . 😂
The shoulders aren’t that great either .
Picking up the tank tomorrow!
Now I got to learn about sending units , vents , pickups , and stopping corrosion.
Gotta figure out a bilge blower system...
Been working a bit on the trailer and did get it set on the trailer . Pulled it out to get some sun today and a bit of cleanup in the shed .
Feels great to be at this point . Plenty more to do though . I have a guy making me a new aluminum fuel tank . Should be done in about a week .
Still moving at snails pace but moving .
The way I matched the curved rear cover boards was I made a cardboard template of the original about every foot or so . Then I sanded the curve down at each point to match the template. Then just removed material from each section till I got it close ...
Good idea . I don’t have one ..That gives me a reason find one . Been looking for a used resaw / bandsaw reasonable. No luck so far . Just don’t see spending a pile on something I may need one time .
