Thanks guys, I hope this thing floats.

I just got done changing the starter, I never saw smoke come out of a starter before

. But every thing is OK now. The starter was very old (from the old boat) and come to think of it, I have never changed it before (almost 10 yrs old, at least). I'm out now, got to go put on the CF numbers, set the plates and double check everything. Its going to be a long night.
I hope my neighbors don't think there going to sleep late tomorrow. This thing gets to run on the hose for the first time at 9:00 am (got to check for leaks

)
Either Im a phukin retard or this is the first year there is 29 days in the month of February!

LOL, I didnt notice that.
1st trip is on Mar 1. I cant believe I've been working on this thing almost a year now. I picked it up Mar 30 2008. And it was goint to be an easy project.
