Thats not a F@#king car thread

[charged]

In the process of doing a general tidy up of the SKiboat as now that Ive bought a race car, a new boat is definetley out the picture for a while.
Putting a new interior in as the old on is ratty and very out dated, also a general mechanical tidy up also.

So far Ive changed the spark arrestor on the holley, new exhaust risers old one were leaking water into the combustion chamber, new impellor on the raw water pump, new leads, new dizzy cap and rotor for the HEI dizzy, new skeg bush for the prop, new alternator, starter. I have sourced new seat carcasses as the old ones are U/S and very ugly, going all new carpet and cloth trim on the seats ( much cooler than vinyl on the hot days OUCH ), engine cover ( much quieter than just fiberglass) and side gunales between the back of the boat to the front.

Tommorrow I have to rip out the carpet, install new isolator for the battery refit waterpump,refit the alternator, dizzy-leads etc and adjust the lifters which is very messy as you run the engine at idle, back off the rockers till they rattle then its 3/4 of a turn and their set

The boats going to the trimmers next monday heres some before pics( on shitty camera phone)
