Well I took her out for the first time last week. Everything went great! The motor rebuild was great, and the hull is sound. NO LEAKS. she was bone dry when I got her out of the water. I ran her again this weekend and tuned the holly carb a little. Still no issues. All the hard work has paied off. my only regret is the season is over. I'll get all the extra finishing touches done this winter though. more pictures on the way.
