Took the Rogers out for some testing this morning. Arrived at Castaic at about 07:30 This is my first time taking this boat out and the first time that she has seen water in about 5 or 6 years. Ran pretty good, as I still need to play around with the carb and timing a little. Noticed some water leaks from the right side swim step bolts and left side exhaust opening (thru the transom) Overall, I'm very happy. All the work I did really paid off. Here are some pics.

looks good 

looks great  looks like a nice lake too 

Good looking boat and an empty lake . . . who could ask for more?   

Heres a link to a video of the boat that I put up on youtube. My friend took the vid with his new phone and didn't really know how to alter the settings. Sorry for the crappy quality and I hope the link works.

Looks like she cleaned up real nice and sounds great. To bad the matching carb scoop was lost. I had that custom made when I owned the Rogers back in 78 and it looked awesome.  Fred

Went to Lake Mohave last week with a group of friends and their boats. 5 Straight days of boating. Zero issues with the Rogers. Here are a few pics.

Well done my friend well done. By the way what do the charge at castaic to rent the whole lake for yourself . Wish i was there. Looks awesome bro
