Don’t have much in the way of pictures but it’s coming along nicely. Had a good weekend on it here. The motor is in and squared up, Exhaust is in, reverse cable, steering cable and throttle cable all it and working good. Had a little issue with reverse, can’t find a cable with enough travel to make the reverse go all the way. But just adjusted the arm on the bucket and ground a new detent in the reverse arm so now it’s good. Ran all the coolant lines after I decided to move the heat exchanger, still need 2 hose menders 1 3/4” it’s proving hard to find. But I got a lathe so I will make it. Wiring is on the go. Not my thing so it’s going slowly and hopefully it works lol. Got the fuel lines run in the floor so will put the floor in this week! Then will take a few pictures. Once the floor is in I can put the fuel tank in then I could actually fire it up!

So was cleaning up the wiring last night. Got it hooked and couldn’t resist trying it. The starter engages so it’s promising! Don’t want to actually turn it over till I prime the oil pump and change the oil. It’s been sitting for years and only ran at the factory so probably best to have new oil.

Well got the flooring done and in. Was a big job! I totally didn’t think it was going to take that long! Also put the fuel filter/water separator in. Put antifreeze and new oil in and primed the oil pump. Swim deck and paint next. Oh and doghouse.
