Just a few more weeks and I'll be on the water if everything goes as planned. The boat is starting to look functional and nice. It is nice to have the picture in your mind and the final product match at the end. I have carpeted the sides of the center and front section and have cut the floor for the front deck. I finished the outboard this week with new water pump, new shift rod, and new prop. It's ready to be installed when time is ready. I know if I put it on now, I'd be on the water with a rod and jig; so I'll wait until everything else is done. Thanks for looking and weather premitting, I'll be finished soon.

Well, here is the latest update on my project. I still have some detail work to do to make it cool, but it is fishable at the moment. I took it last week on her maiden voyage and broke the steering cable at the boat ramp. Luckily, I was within trolling distance. I don't know if anyone else has ever priced a cable, but WOW are they expensive for what you get. I decided to replace the entire steering unit and it should be here after the holidays. At least I got time now to finish some of the details and hope to have her on the water within two weeks. Thanks to everyone for the comments. Even my buddy in Jersey. He needs to move back down, he don't belong up there. Wish me well and everyone have a safe holiday. Rollcaster...........................
