Nothing to special right now, got a few odds and ends to fix before it's lake ready. But soon!

Looks like a fine start and a lot of fun. Hell, I have almost as much fun swillin beer and rubbin on my boat at home as I do when I'm drivin it.

Haha yeah I hear ya man. We messed around with it tonight got it running finally. Motor has been rebuilt recent, but there is not regulator on the water that goes to the headers, so it has a little water in the oil. Going to get that fixed before it messing anything else up! Will be posting more pics soon, going to be working on it most the weekend. Any tips for us??? Anything to look for or check? Any help is really appreciated!

Its got a T on it which runs to both water connections on front of motor, then comes out thermostat hole, which T's, one side is a little shut off valve on it and runs to back of boat and the other side of T runs to headers...
