Extremely hard week for me. Debbie left my last Thursday, and I sold the Formula this Wednesday. May very well be the worse week of my life.

??? Does anyone know what the SR stands for, in the SR series of boats? I had a guy ask me today, and I have no idea. I'm guessing the "S" stands for Sport, and maybe the "R" stands for "Race". Does anyone know for sure?

Well, not actually in the water, but I got a chance to fire up the engines in the Formula for the first time in months. Just a little gas down the carb, and they fired right up! I am a happy camper! ;D

Do you have water under your boat yet? With all the rain the past couple weeks, the river is about a half inch over my dock. It's averaged three feet below it for the past two years. We needed it. :)

I just received this in the mail today. Speedgirl from Oso's husband works at a Formula dealer, and brought it home, so she sent it to me. ;D

I pulled the intake off a 1982 454/330. This is exactly what it looked like when I pulled the intake. I didn't wipe it at all. 8)

I bought it to put in the Donzi, but I'm keeping the 330 in it instead. I bought it from Dollar Marine. It had under 300 hrs on it, and I was told it had good compression. It came out of a Formula 419, and the owner bought three new 525's and XR drives. $3500 picked up at my place. I don't...

I found these in an folder, I hadn't seen them in years.

I bought these a couple years ago, I was going to put them in my F20 project, which I finally pulled the plug on, so I still have these seats. They are from Premier Performance Interiors, which make a lot of interiors for many new manufactorers. These are the exact same seats they put in today's...

My boat had been originally equipted with an arch. The previous owner had removed it, and he put friction type tape over the holes. I looked good, and I never would have noticed it if he hadn't pointed it out. They finally started to curl, so I bought these yellow steps. Then I found one of them...

I changed the impeller in one seawater pump a while back, and just got dribbles out that exhaust. I figured I must have done something wrong, so today I pulled the pump again and didn't find anything I did wrong, or hook up wrong. Flushed both hoses going to the pump. Pulled off the t stat...

I had one engine that I fired up on the hose, and it wasn't flowing any water. I took the seawater pump off, and found a busted vane in the impeller. I replaced it, and installed back in the boat. While I was at it, I pulled both seastrainers, and they both had a very small amount of mud in...

Debbie and I are taking our fishboat up to South Carolina on Wednesday, to do some catfishing. I cleaned all the plugs in the engine, change fuel/water separator Anyway, we decided to run to Silver Glen to make sure everything was running good. We met a friend of ours at the Glen, and one of his...

Friday, I cleaned up the transom area, touched up the paint on the drives, polished some of the hardware. Looking good! Yesterday, I cleaned the interior, and put 303 on it. It's surprising how much dust gets through a full cover.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My garage is 40 feet deep, but the last 12 feet is closed off for a workshop. That leaves me 28 feet to park in. I need 29 to fit the 22 on the trailer inside the garage. I decided to cut a hole in the wall, just...

We ran the fishboat from Halifax Marine in Daytona, to Ponce Inlet. There were hundreds of boats at Dissapearing Island. We saw this real nice 20. It was docked at the same restaurant where we ate lunch, but I couldn't figure out who owned it so I could ask them about it.

Well, not exactly. :) I bought these to put on the sides. In the picture of the boat, where I have it circled, is anti slip tape that the previous owner put over the holes where the arch was originally located. They held up will, and actually, I'd have never noticed that they were there for...
