I split this out as I expect this to thread to be huge!
Doran ! I had to look Twice and the thread title LOL
something about going down under ... took a minute for me to get my thinker around that
You guy's know I put the stroker and thru-hulls on the boat to go to lake of the Ozarks last August
I have since sold that motor to the fellow that bought Red's Gold, so I pulled the motor.
Then, because I planed on doing the interior in my boat this winter or spring, I pulled it to put in Gary's boat,
some people thought I was parting out my boat
Then when the fellow from Austrailia contacted me, we have been talking on the phone several times, he lives and has a business in Melborn, I gave him several motor, drive, tilt/trim and exhaust options, he decided yesterday to go with the stock 260hp, Alpha drive and t/t system, thru-hull exhaust, and even the pretty green cover, I'm really pleased, for both of us, and, he has two young son's 5 and 6 years old, they are going to have a Blast.
Anyway, I'm sending him all the templates to build the seat frames, he has made arrangements to get them covered there, and he's good to go. I will have the boat cover on, then have it scrink wrapped before it leaves here.
About the new project, I bought the one from my buddy Clay that that lives just a few miles from me, it's the one that was hanging on the straps down in Texas a year or two back, it's actually in a lot better shape than I had expected, and guess what else, it's all ready cleand out and ready to split
and Clay has completely rebuilt the trailer.
I'm looking to have Gary's boat ready for a lake test in a few days, but it may be another week before I can get it out of the shop to my driveway, the ground is still wet as can be.
