Well I have started with the engine on the tique and it has been dirty. It has great compression and just nocking off the dust. You can see the stringer monster has taken down another boat of the gods. Headers turned out nice with new ford blue paint. I`ll have those tommorrow.

Wow what a cool job! Son was a M/M on Frigates. Loved it! So did I. Got to go on a couple of day cruises and one awesome 7 (!) day Tiger cruise when they were returning from a cruise. Met the boat in Mexico. Rode around for a few days then retuned to San Diego. Are ya still in Florida?
Good luck on that cool Tique and keep us posted! john |

78sn hey I work with the SAR (search and rescue) evaluation team for all of Hampton Roads naval stations. Give me some info or have him respond to this forum and see if we can get together and get this thing running. Anything I can do to help out a shipmate. let me know if he would like to do SAR for the boat and earn some extra cash for himself.
