So now i need to order the shift and throttle cable, i need one for a 1964 Evinrude old style can you please point me to the i boat link i thought i saw then on here before
thanks again to all on here for the help

I would first like to thank every one for there help on here, taking the time to answer all my questions as i had no clue when i started this project and have learned a alot from that vast amount of knowledge from everyone one on here. So the boat is not done 100 percent yet( might never be) lol but my dream of getting her on the water has come true. It has been a hard but fun experience working on something i have never done. It has a 1964 28 hp evinrude motor on her that i had to replace the forward gear and clutch dog plus the seals, new water pump and hook up the controls and steering on and i coulnd not have done it with out you all
Here are a few pics of the maiden trip.
