Yes, Jeff & Jim have been awesome and have been tinkering with the boat doing test runs and fixing the 'no starter when its hot' issue. Sounds like a loose wire & a new solenoid have it resolved. Jim got the boat and brought it to Jeff's, replaced the solenoid, checked the motor out, etc.
I've got a run down of everything with the boat, its in good working order. Solid floor, etc, but I believe I'll be rebuilding the front seats this fall & winter. Tach doesn't work, but otherwise, just needs some 'Love' to quote Jeff. He's done me a huge favor by buffing the gel out and running the boat on the water to make sure its ready for TI.
I can't thank them enough for all the help. Originally, I wasn't going to see the boat until TI, but my brother in NH is coming to visit next week, so I'm making a run up to Lakeville tomorrow to grab the boat.
(Side note...sold the B. I think I'll eventually look for a CV-23 to do a bowrider conversion on some day...sorry cv-23 guys. Looking for a Wet Bike to work on over the winter too.)
