She's in!
 
Worked on the port engine transmisson seal than reinstalled the shaft, Rudder Stuffing Box(replaced), Rudder, New props, Zinks, Zinks and more zinks. Installed Battries, Electronics, Tested Bildge pumps...all by high tide and slid her off the trailer. The shaft stuffing boxes were leaking but they stoped when tightened. All other systems worked. Took her out for a shake down and hit a cool 40 kts with 500 rpm's to go. Ran like a new boat. (1974) Tomorow we load the gear! Next we find the fish!:D :happy:

Sounds great!

What type of boat, so I can get a mental picture!!!

I bottom painted today, hope to re-gelcoat the decks this week and put on some real gritty non-skid, the SPLASH!

The rest of it can be fixed in the slip...!!!:D
