She Runs!!!!!!!!!!

[acdc96]

For a while now I've been fixing up my boat and finally got her running perfectly!!! Its a 1986 Celebrity with a Mercruiser 260HP V8 5.7L. Its sat for many years and now shes almost done. the interior needs to be finished and the cooling hoses for the motor need to be cleaned out. (plus the drive needs to be painted)
just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has helped me with this boat.

yep all drain plugs are out and in the glove box and all the hoses have been disconnected even the P/S cooler hose. cleaned all the plug holes with a pipe cleaner and found alot of rust and crud. ill deal with it when its warmer out.
