Richard, looking at that album you've done a ton of work to that boat - she's looking great already.  :thumright:

Yes sir.
We don't get a whole lot of the pocket yachts here so I really look forward to the completed project. You'll really need a slide show when your done due to its size.

Keep it comin' son. :thumright:

Duke - I do some work in Conyers from time to time - helped some folks change the skyline there - have you noticed a big concrete column go up recently?  :shock:  

Good luck with the head - fixing them is usually not difficult - but messy and smelly!   :puker:

Duke, I gotta give you credit.  I've installed hundreds of marine head systems, Jabscos, Raritans, Thetfords, have NO problem dealing with new installs...used?  Now that's when I call in someone else!!!

Well done bud, the toidy sounds good!!  The motor's make a certain sound when running properly, and your's is making that sound... :thumright:  :thumright:
