Well, have got quite a bit done since last posting. I brought the boat to my house and have been doing odds and ends for a while. The motor is mounted now. It is a 1999 200 Johnson with 150 hours on it. The previous owner's stern rotted out and he layed it on the side of his house 5 years ago. Cosmetically it will need some cleaning up, but a practically new motor.





I mounted the cavitation plate about 2.5" higher than the bottom of the boat so hopefully there won't be any cavitation issues. I still have room to move it up on and down by changing the mounting spaces where the engine meets the bracket.


Last big thing was putting in the rear covering board. I still have to bring the knee up to it and tie it all in together.


Paint will be coming soon and then rigging. I picked up another console along the way and am waivering on which one to install now. I'll put up pix of the two in the next update, which hopefully won't be another month from now.
