A little update on the boat.
1. As most have seen I did a complete rebuilt on the jet after the thrust bearing went out.
2. I rewired the whole dash area and removed lots of misc wiring and switches. Plus wired in a new auto bilge pump, hooked the blower back up, and cleaned up the engine wiring and grounds.
3. Adjusted and correctly installed the throttle and shift cables. Still could use a steering cable I think because the steering is a little loose.
4. Last night I finished up putting in new plug wires and a new HEI distributor. Also re-timed the boat "Thanks for the help Joe"
5. Boat already had a newer poly tank in it.
6. I am also really thinking at some point someone has went threw the motor because the block is painted nice and the heads are a different color. It also has a Moroso oil pan with a Edelbrock intake and a holly carb.
At this point the boat is in great shape and should be dependable for years to come. I have went over most everything in the boat. Although there are still a couple odds and ends to finish up like buffing and changing out a couple hoses, and the fact it is an old boat so there will probably always be something to tinker with. I am still thinking I will probably sell it next year after the other 23 is done. It is not perfect but it is in pretty good shape.
