Awesome! For me that is actually the fun stuff. This last build I bought new ratchet crimpers, drill and driver bits, and top of the line wire and connectors. I also spent a day measuring for hardware length and bought fasteners in bulk. Remember to lube all threaded screws and bolts if you are using a gun to keep from balling the threads. Ask me how I know......

Took the boat to a buddies house ,so that he can repair the motors going on the boat. Ill be running some old 150 2 strokers. mercury. 2.5 liter .. I have ran these motors to hell and back .. do have the funds for new 4 strokes. so opted to get these suckers going..there is is still alot of stuff to do on the boat... covering boards toe rails and coming pads .... not to mention tearing down the old shop to build a bigger one.. so with that said the boat will be done later in the year .. i hope.
