    Here's the MC sitting over at my buddy's place, awaiting final trailer adjustment to fit the boat. Hopefully it'll get done soon.

    Will this boat fit on that trailer?

    Right? :LOL:

    Thanks for the heads up, Chris. I'll check into it more before making a final decision. :)

    And the boat does fit on that trailer! Got it on there and immediately took it over to my buddy's place so that he can do the final adjustments. :cool:

    Guys, I'm back! I've had a very busy and productive week, all of it boat stuff. 😁 This week I stripped stuff, sold stuff, removed stuff, added stuff and trashed stuff! 😅 Here's a little video showing how the week went.

    I got the boat completely stripped yesterday and will be heading to the dump this morning. Cables and all! :LOL: I've read a lot about hydraulic steering, but never experienced it myself. Still learning here. :cool:

    Got the fuel tank out. "I don't know how I did it, but I did it. It was hard." :LOL:

    We got the donor completely stripped today. It goes to the dump tomorrow. The steering wheel was in the way, so it was hacked. We siphoned the fuel out using the existing lines & bulb.

    Pix as promised. Getting the engine off was routine and relatively painless. :cool: The Hi-Jacker manual jack plate. I may replace it with a hydraulic or electric unit later. I'll use the manual unit for awhile and see how it goes. That transom was wrecked. I sent the pic to the PO...

    I cut the tube this morning and it's just a water hose for the speedo, as I'd suspected. Got the engine and jack plate off a little while ago. Pix to follow! 😁

    And that last little tube was in fact just a water hose for the speedo.

    Yup. He just cut the cable itself. The engine is being moved to another boat and I'll be switching to hydraulic steering then.

    Thanks guys. My buddy came over last night and got the cable off for me. Yes, he used a big wrench to tighten the jam nuts. Then he turned the steering wheel hard over until it stripped the internals. After that, he used an angle grinder and cut it off. Brute force. No problem! :ROFLMAO:

    online shopping

    Well, I sold my KF last week. Only took 9 minutes after I listed it. The first hit was 1 minute after listing. Guy wanted me to allow a $500 discount because he wanted to give me his kayak in trade. Nope. The second guy texted me 8 minutes later and ended up as the actual buyer...

    My buddy stopped by and was here and gone in 5 minutes. :sneaky: It's amazing how fast you can get the cables out when you use an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel! :ROFLMAO: The last item I have to deal with before I can pull the engine is this little line/tube/wire. I'm guessing it's...

    In addition to the XR6 stuff, we pulled the existing Minn Kota 42 lb. trolling motor off the MC, tested it and then set it aside for possible sale. The plan is to swap the MotorGuide 67 lb. unit from the donor to the MC. However, the MG unit is only a 40" shaft, while the MK is 48 inches...
