Blue Gray in PA- gets really excited

[www.stvowners.com]

Got together the last few days and got things going for Scott. Mounted "280" engine, changed impeller & added gear lube. We got about 95% of the rigging done to do a test fire. Here's a few pictures from my garage.

It was a hair above freezing in PA this weekend Hack. Larry had the heat on in the garage too but the insulated long sleeve shirt kept me warm. And it's still a family boat Red Allison - just a faster family...

glad to see you got it rigged, scott!

now you will have to keep us posted after you get it wet!

Dang Scott, you are going to have to get all the yung'ns some Life Line vests for this years tubbing :smile :very happy.

Take some pics of your GPS mount while you have the boat out if you can.

Will do Kevin. I'm in Detroit tonight but should be home later this week and will take some pictures. As you can imagine, I'm anxious to get back to the finishing touches before getting her wet. I'll keep everyone posted but you can update my profile when you get a few minutes. The motor is a 1999 280 Sport running 11-1/2" setback. No prop decision yet....

Dang, that is one clean lookin 280! Nice snag, Blue Gray!

 

[Blue Gray in PA]

Thanks Flat Out. I'm anxious to get it in the water and with the weather improving I might get a chance this weekend. I've been running on business all week and trying to pick up the last few parts as time permits.
