Looks great, progress may be slow, but it's still getting done. Hopefully splash in 2022

Thanks!
I can tell you it was quite the process to get the motor out of the basement, around the house and up a hill!
Basically I bolted the motor to a wooden sledge and dragged it out the basement slider using the winch on our ATV.
I used this same method, 10' at a time to drag it to were it needed to be.
You might notice that this is still a hill and it slopes to the right, so I had to block and side-to-side level the engine hoist and the boat trailer - otherwise she slid right in!

If an Admin could turn the pictures I'd appreciate it.

The windshields and rails have been re-installed, and the wet sanding and buffing is in progress.
Making her look pretty and more like a boat puts "wind in my sails"....

Obviously I will have to evaluate the trailer for repair or replacement once the boat is floating.

Hi everyone, time for an update  :D
So the Interior is mostly in as you can see below!
I am having trouble finding the adapter fittings I need for the trim, but will be posting my questions on that this weekend.
Otherwise I have a lot of punch list stuff to do, but no major projects left!

Mismatch of trim cylinders and trim power unit?

These hoses go from the reverse lock out to the trim motor. I'll post pictures when I am where the boat is - thanks!
