A bit of what I do at work

Of course I fix things like this giant 1000 gallon toothpaste mixer



New parts prepped to weld



And a new center section ready to do bunch more welding and grinding which if things go well will be mixing again by Friday

Busy again

with the 40 degree heat wave :)

I am going at it again and this weekend I did the final alinement of the motor and installed the stuffing box and shaft coupling ,shift and throttle cables

Kind of happy all that stuff lined up as after replacing the stern tube I would have had to shoot myself if I had put the tube in wrong


Today I installed the custom copper water lift muffler the boat came with and also put the heat exchanger and hoses back on somehow this used up another 10 hours BUT everthing looks good

I will have to take some pictures

the dark cold days of winter

Well

He were are again with a really cold start to the winter already down to 13 degree and staying around 32 degrees all day with a lot of wind

After christmas i will have to suck it up and keep pushing :)

Another job finished

what damage a small leak did



working to save the good wood



new wood and a LOT of glass work to make it strong



something about white paint and stainless that say finished

One year + today

Well it was one year ago this weekend i put on a BIG push to pull the motor so i could refurbish it and the rest of the boat

At this point i have finished all the big jobs BUT there is a huge amount of paint plumbing and electric work left to finish making a finish date hard to predict

And there is the issue of my 30th wedding anniversary as we are taking a fairly costly trip :)

I can honestly say at this point the only regret is going for the high quality topside paint as its really gonna hold up the launch

more hardware

deck hatch and putting back hardware

old and badly installed






Rebuilt and well installed at least IMHP :)
