I see your NorCal. Sounds like we’re near Clearlake. I’m in Santa Rosa. Might run into you someday

I think there are enough NorCal Nautiques to have a meet-up, maybe over in the Delta, say B&W in Rio Vista?
Sometime in May? If so, we should start a thread so as to let William continue his quest here... I had hoped he would have just installed the 'new' trans as was-it was working/running properly in 3+ years ago. I've never had one apart, so I'm no good to him there.... |

Yes! That would be great! Maybe I can hook my boat up to someone's boat and you can tow me around the lake!!

I've put the boat on hold. I'm doing some construction inside my cabin and yard work atm. Also, I need to build up some mental bandwidth to handle pulling the trans out and rebuilding it. Appreciate everyone here.

Very funny William I’m sorry Brian was thinking May, hopefully lake Sonoma will have water. The dock did get sketchy around July |

No, no, no...
We're waiting for William! After he fuels up, and after a couple nice warm weekends, he'll be back under the hood... And it neither has to take place in May, nor Lake Sonoma. One thing about the Delta-always water! And, it may help draw others from NorCal...happy to discuss plans off-thread... |

It is usually June before we get warm water in No Cal. Sounds like a fun meet up. I will try and make it.

I'm one inch from tossing this project into the bin. I opened this site today to say that I'm putting the boat on Craigslist for $1000 with the hopes of getting something for the engine. The bottom end is brand new. Or, just calling KDFC and having them just come pick it up.

I think you may need an intervention or something.
An inch can be pretty long sometimes  PS...............Wayoutthere was close to throwing in the towel a few times but he made it through. He'll lead the intervention,.................... pull up a comfy couch

William....stop!!
Step back off the ledge....never let an inanimate object defeat you. You've come so far, you've learned a lot, made some CCF buddies, and.... Let's fix this thing!!
