Well, I could just throw a motor and tranny in it and go, could be running in less than a day. But the stringers have delam but no water is getting in so it could be used the way it is for a while, but I may just fix that first so I'll probably wait till I get moved, but if I end up having to stay here for a while, I'll probably go ahead and get it running!..

MMMmm.......A New Project!! :laugh  :D

Well, it don't have to be to run it but the way she talks it's going to be one!.  :rolleyes And I have the feeling that it's going to be moved ahead of all other projects!.. :banghead  :laugh

Well Duh!! :laugh  :laugh

Well, thought I'd pull the interior out of the cruiser and see what lies beneath the surface, man what a mess you can't see the floor from all the oil and grease. This thing has been rigged more than once, you'd have to see it in person to believe how it was done, can't believe anybody would do this, and the wiring is a total disaster!. But the hull is in excellent shape and it's a stout one, only problem is the glass on the stringers is delaminated but no cracks anywhere and no water got between the glass and stringers so there is no rot!. So, I guess I'll just plug all the holes, re glass the stringers and it should be good to go, then I'll put everything back in the way it should be!...

Actually there's not that much to do it's all there, once I get the stringers re glassed just bolt it all back together, nothing fancy since there's a full interior and everything is hidden, main focus here is "reliability"!.. :good

Actually the wiring is good up until the end then it turns to $hit, I'll probably use most of it just clean it up and route it the right way!...
