posted 07-05-2010 by wv_sailingnut

the engine/transmission rebuild has been completed, I am now ready to install into the boat. I have rented a truck and a lift for next week. so will have new photos next week. so to date the boat has received a new rudder, shaft, cutlas bearing, packing box assembly, manual and electric bilge pumps and hoses, and a new battery. I still need one more battery, and the exhaustassembly, which I am going to need to pick some other hunter owners brains on, but I am very close to completion and getting ready to plop her back in the drink. Here are some new shots of the finished motor and boat.

Update: Here are more photos of the motor installation, in the truck, and the grumpy boat yard workers assisting me. I am also including more pics of the boat, as to date it is still in the boatyard, just been to busy to focus on it, hope to change all that in the next two weeks. Next on the agenda is a new exhaust system and fuel system.
