I know, I am getting anxious but it all comes down to funds. The new exhaust set up will not be cheap, so I've set my sites on next spring for maiden voyage. The following winter (provided the motor checks out good) will be to remove the jet housing and water intake grate inspect things and re-seal things. Also pull the exhaust tips, and tow rings too. Re-seal all that 39 yo stuff. Probably move ahead with the trailer brakes too. Was going to go without but eventually I think I'll just go thru it all. I like it when all the stuff works.
