There's only one thing worse than having your boat fail while out on the water....and that's having loved ones on board when it happens........that's why I mostly invite people I don't care about out on my boat...
Lucky for me, those projects are overlapping.

Coils, carb rebuild kits, fuel water filter and other motor stuff will be here Wednesday, New canvas will be here Tuesday, carbs are disassembled waiting for the rebuild parts right now, and I started adjusting wires running up the t-top this weekend and am almost done (gonna save the through-top wiring for the winter.)

Assuming thunderstorms hold off, she should be back out on the water Thursday evening to see if everything is running right.

As things stand right now, I think I got lucky with the motor stuff, but only time will tell.
