This is all to get to a base line to bring the boat up from South Carolina to Virginia on the Potomac this summer. We are very fortunate to have a couple of great people working on the boat and treating us right where the boat is currently docked in Little River.

Sounds like you've been busy.

Time to start taking her out and enjoying all of your hard work. (Hint hint), it never ends

Little River is a good spot. We bought Blue Bayou there, and had quite a bit of work done before our delivery trip; very happy with all of it.

I'd like to see this boat when you are moved up here. I'm not all that far from y'all.

Jim, we were originally planning to bring it up the end of May, but are now thinking June or August. In theory, the pilings are being set at the dock in the next two weeks and some day in the not too distant future, it will be back together and ready to go. It depends on how much more stuff gets shifted to the "do now" list.

New style valve covers for the old 6-71's.

Engines are back together and running. A beautiful sight.
