    The teak is looking really nice. It is amazing the change that takes place when you clean it up. That seat pedestal looks good. I might do something similar to mine. Keep us posted on your progress.

    yeah...I am very excited about how she is going to run and look this summer. Looking at the engine and mounts again when I dropped her off...I think i was very lucky to get her through last summer without a catastrophe. The engine is leaning forward and to the left on the mounts pretty hard...I could see the shaft breaking or bending or the engine just tearing loose.

    Very excited about having a new(old) boat this summer. going to be great.

    Yeah, as I've torn mine apart I noticed some of the same type of thing. The wood really wasn't holding much anymore.

    Mikey,

    Maybe this pic will help. This was my left front engine mount area. See how the mount was actually cutting into the fiberglass?

    No prob. Yeah, my engine mount on that side looked like it was smooshed into the fiberglass a little, which I always thought was weird. It wasn't until the engine was out that I realized how bad it was.

    Mikey...that is exactly what mine looked like but you could see on the stringer where mount was originally mounted and now where it sits...probably a good 1/4 or a little more forward. I will see if I can get a pic of the engine before Chris takes it out. Not sure what yours looks like but you can see the rubber bushings pushing forward on my engine so the the engine is leaning forward over the mounts rather than being overtop of the mounts. Like i said I think I got lucky last summer.
