A friend gave me this set of release flags with the boat name on them.

Grounding for sure. Whats eta on new one?
The part was received either Friday or this morning and they've already reassembled the transmission. We've got maybe two more days of painting and she's going back in. Hopefully, nothing else is bent. We've also got to turn the engines all the way up with those wheels. If she'll turn 2,800, or close to it, the wheels match the engine speed. I have a suspicion the seller over-propped it so he could get it up on plane quickly. If that's the case, we've got to retune the blades.
what's your plan for those release flags?
seeing as how this boat is never leaving the dock....

What kind of speed are you expecting to see out of it?
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Looks like a gratifying project once it’s complete…. Although with a boat the work is never done
