Title: starter is replaced
Post by nathan on Sep 9^th, 2012 at 11:25am

well I was able to get the starter replaced on lil red. I put on a high torque mini starter. It was a huge pain to get to. I think my next boat will have outboard or at least an easier to access engine. put at least it starts easier now.

slowly but surely. I hope to get the wood this weekend and get back on the floor. it is looking like that after that it will be almost ready for a water run to see how everything else works. probably with no carpet and no seats ;) ;D
