So you live in the wooden barn with a 2 car garage and a bass boat? Welcome back to Alabama. That wooden barn is my neighbor  There was a guy in Guntersville, that I used to drive by his trailer every day. Trailer was run down and the grass was 10ft high. He did have a 50k bass boat sitting under a shed beside his trailer though

As soon as I get the carpet installed, I'll post some more pics up. Pretty much at a stand still till it comes in.

Welp, I temporarily hooked the controls up today to see if the motor would turn over. She turned over just fine. Next step, is to clean out the fuel tank, throw some gas in it and fire that baby up. What I have left:
- Finish compounding, polishing and waxing.
- Putting the new carpet in.
- Re-wiring elec hook ups
- Mounting trolling motor
- Hooking up the controls
- Cleaning out the fuel tank
- Registering the boat
- Replacing the stator in the motor
- Replace some of the wiring in the motor

You gonna keep it for your own use, or sell it so you can start another project?  I'm keeping it for now. Now if I win a few BFL tourneys next year, I'll sell it and get another one.

I have heard that a couple of pounds or so of bb's will clean out a fuel tank pretty well. Just put them in there with some degreaser and shake for a while.  It's gonna be hard to shake a 24gal steel fuel tank with 2lbs of bb's in it On a side note, that SOB has about 15gals of old gas in it. Yet another small hurdle

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

If you like to fish shallow water, seriously consider the Power-Pole for the back. They're really nice, especially in windy conditions or if you find a good bream bed or are bed fishing.
And once you get one, you'll want two.

Clem, that will be later down the line. I've got to get new dash instruments, fish finders and probably a new trolling motor 1st. Them damn Power-Poles are pricey!

You don't need no stinkin' dash instruments!

You don't need no stinkin' dash instruments! You really only need water pressure and rpm gauges. The fuel and battery voltage gauges are nice to have as well though.

Compression check done and all good. 114-116 with one cylinder hitting at 105. The 105 worried me, but it's within 90% of the highest reading and only has to be within 80%. Going to test again after I run it on the lake and get motor up to temp.
Tomorrow afternoon, going to hook up the trim and check that all out. Also going to pick up a water pump kit and change all of that out just to be on the safe side.
