    heading to the water.

    been a long road but finally at that point where she gets splashed. been about 5 yrs since she has seen the water this will be her first fresh water spalsh ever no more salt for her

    original interior is not all that bad for being 44 yrs old, still needs a good asses and elbows cleaning but that will come after the shakedown runs, hopefully only one shakedown run and no major issues

    Full report expected!

    Congratulations! I feel your anticipation, and maybe just a little anxiety until you find out it runs great.

    Please also post some in-the-water pictures. I guess this also means you got some water at your lake? Or are you having to go somewhere else for this splash?

    well not all good news and not all bad news. Did have a few issues, looks like the shifter cable might be bad and the shifter boot is leaking a bit. did get towed in once then left and returned under my own power.the reverse lock is also being a PITA

    thanks guys for the well wishes

    Marlin, Bill

    yes with the afternoon thunderstorms as of late, it has reached close to normal just about a foot shy of normal for a dry hot july. Greenwood lake is very Brown this year , seems the runoff has taken alot of top soil with it. In the shallows, land vegitation has taken hold so we now have land weeds not sea weeds
