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  Wink Grin
