Or just be buried in the boat.  Except around 2 am the night after the burial there would be a gaggle of CCFans with shovels "modifying" the grave site! Tongue

Would the varnish cure anyway with time, or does it have to be time with some warmth as well?

I’ve just been informed I’m being cremated,  apparently there’s not enough money left for a proper burial. Cry



It will slow cure in the cold weather but a couple of 70 degree days right now would be nice

Guess we'll just have a proper Viking funeral send off in a old woody Correct Craft (- the motor) and save Dana the price of Cremation. Tongue It'll give everyone a reason to hit the Green Lake reunion one more time!

Finally some sunshine today so rolled her outside to pick up the garage.

Exhaust holes are drilled, gas tank mounting has been mocked up and ready to go.  Found some  windshield mounting brackets so waiting for those to show up. 

Going to cut the steering column down once the interior is complete so I get a comfortable feel on the wheel.  Wheel will get painted white once I’m done with any mods it may need.

Next up is to install a breakaway tongue on the trailer and do bearing and brake maintenance so i can get the boat off to the upholstery shop.

Expecting the rest of my trim pieces back by then, there’s quite a bit more bling to put on.  Lots of fun stuff going on lately.  

I really did not want to be installing the engine on a finished boat but the machine shop is just killing  me so working a little out of sequence.  Keep adapting.  Enjoy
