Just got back from the boat yard. Thought I would share some pictures of the work we are having done right now. Hopefully this Wednesday it goes back in the water. :grin:

Ha, I took my computer out to my boat to compare your props to mine to make sure they are on correctly. I hope your are right, as mine matches your!

Got pics of the thru-hull repair?

You do have better stickers than I do. Did you find " Rush Limbaugh is my Hero" sticker I placed on your boat!:grin:

The props were sent to Tacoma Propeller (http://www.tacomapropeller.com/) to be checked for correct size and pitch also to check for wear and balance. The boat yard doing the work, Modutech (http://www.modutechmarine.com/) sent them all the information on horse power, gear ratio, boat weight, size and design and they determined the props are correct.

I will ask them for the specifics so I can post it for you guys that are asking.

Looks good Pack66Dad. Please do post your prop info as I am about to purchase new props for my 305 and I am running better than 5500 rpms on my 350s.

Hi Pack. Just wondering if you have the prop specs yet. I'm taking my boat out of the water this weekend for some engine/prop/shaft/ work and could use the info.

Thanks very much,

Cleaned up and re-bedded rudder posts with new stainless steel support brackets:

New transducer and hull repair:

Carbs came off to be rebuilt as soon as we got it back at the dock:

To those asking: When I picked the boat up, the manager that had the prop information was not in the office. I will call tomorrow and ask him for the information.

Looks great. I take the thru-hull is where the other transducer was located? Drilling holes in the bottom of a boat just doesn't set right.......

Yes, that is where the old transducer was located. The repair to the hull where the wood was looks pretty good and now there is no more wood so although expensive it was worthwhile.

LOL Are sure that is not you after the Admiral stuff you in that hole?? I know that area very well, I call it the "Hell Hole."

Pretty carbs. I guess I should have painted mine.

Some more pics of the work in progress.
Upper helm with new gauges:

I thought about changing the hours gauges too...... but I thought they should be changed when / if I change out engines.

Windlass mounted:
