Went to the marina in olympia today to look at the opening of the new child's hands on museum.
It was lots of fun. Nice weather and lots of people. It is amazing to me though to see hundreds of
boats with no one on them. People are crazy.
You are so right. There is something wild about the sea. There is endless adventure. Cant wait to take
my son out there and explore. I like nice weather out on the water, but there is something amazing
about an early morning with a thick fog, or an overcast sky that just gets my blood going. I...
Hey, just thought I would put this out there. I completely love boating, that is everything about it. I love being out
on the water whether it is fishing, crabbing, camping or just cruising. I bought a 1973 searay srv 240 sport flybridge

Thank you so much. I definitely will call you next time. I was really surprised that MotorBoat Mart did not

we discovered the trim cylinders were in very bad condition. One had started to collapse on its own. We
took off the cables and the threading was completely gone. I am searching for some...
We put the drive back on and finished the engine yesterday. We will break it in today.
I am also going to recover the engine cover and back seats. The back seats look alot like the
engine cover pictured here.e.
I will definitely look into that OldSkool. While we had the valve covers off I decided to play on the blue color of the block.
I do not know why they made it blue but it looks ok I guess. We will hopefully have it all back together before the weekend.
Here are some pics of the old engine and...
