    Nelson Lake, Hayward Wisconsin

    I'm convinced there are no fish in this lake. At least no walleye. The recent flooding may have passed them over the dam. Nephew left the crawlers in the sun... What a ripe smell. At least the Leinies are cold Headed to door county this friday for walleye fishing.

    As part of my BBC build http://forums.iboats.com/forum/engin...ll-the-admiral I had picked up a mark 4 (1965-1990 454) 8-quart mercruiser cast aluminum oil pan. The problem is I picked up a Gen V/VI core motor for the project because I wanted a 1-piece oil seal and roller cam and valve train...

    Anyone ever successfully reason with your Admiral? Just venting

    So, earlier this year, sold the SBC out of the boat to make funds for the BBC project. Admiral says, the boat could wait, need to spend a bit of $ on house issues. No problem, so we divert funds, paint the lanai, entry way, and spend a bit on college fees for the stepson. All good, tax return...

    BBC build- Don't tell the Admiral

    Thanks Bondo, however pretty sure he would be asking more than the admiral will allow. Talked to the CL guy on the 8.1 marine. It's a 2007, motor hydrolocked due to leaking riser. They pulled the motor vs even pulling the plugs. Then let it sit for 8 months. Even at $500, thinking it's too much...
