dunno how the hell she stayed with me, but I love her to death.
Spent yesterday taking apart the old motor and tranny while a friend rebulit the new velvet drive. New moror passed a compression check. Next weekend is painting parts and start buliding it. Can you buy motor mount rubber bushings seperatly? Would you install the motor before or after building the decking frame? I cant decide.
SO... I let the wife handle the layout for the boat name and I am ready to do it. Its free to me and I just want to do it, as I feel giving her a name will make feel that I have something. So of course the wife is going to TEST my skills. OMG I wasnt expecting this!! Im going to Office Max tomorrow to have the paper layouts made in banner strips. I could beat her right now, but I like her idea to much, Game on!!! This is the kind of fun that involves alot of swearing and throwing things ... Stenciling straight lines is hard. Cursive requires alot of patience with long lines like these. DAMN HER!!!! Thats alot of Cursive!!!! I got this.... It will last forever, no stickers to replace every few years will be nice.

I am confused, are you going to have ALL of that on the back of the boat? I am lost as to what you are putting on it. If all that goes on, it may look cluttered.
please enlighten
