Sorry guys work has been absolutely crazy Ive only spent about two weekends at home since August but I did get a new tow rig for the Sea Ray. 2013 Chevrolet Silverado with the 5.3 V8 perfect for pulling the Sea Ray
Thanks ill definatly take a look at that ! I actually had an old AMC 258 that had that same issue I rebuilt the motor vated the block bored it out new pistons still had the knock finally found it to be a stopped up oil pump.
Well it seems that every step forward requires a step back finally got a chance to take some core samples of my deck ....and looks like I get to replace the deck. Its kinda weird though the deck is rotten but still very stiff (no soft spots) and the foam is dry. I guess ill know more when I take...
Thanks for the tip.! I hadn't even planned on removing the tank I was just gonna pump it out and clear the lines.

Newman, I'm in the same boat as you are I'm single all my friends are married have kids or hard to get them on the water. Look around your local lakes for dive bars and stuff with docks and just go hang out man. When I was into jeeps we had tons of Jeep Clubs that we rode with and took trips...
Yes the Seville is no longer with us I was working on it and had my foot go through the hull and hit the trailer and at that point it went to the scrap yard ....But its the same trailer though !
Well this winter I'm actually gonna 2 captains chairs and a rear bench but if there's a chance of hitting the water this season I'll grab some seats from the junkyard to last this season

Next weekend we have the Pirates of Lanier Poker Run on Lake Lanier and ill be helping at one of the stops so I doubt I get to much accomplished. Hopefully Sunday I can start taking apart the bellows.
