Viper rebuild

[transomstand]

Nope...guy used the M word. He's done

I'm not done, just got a little side tracked with life changes. I'm finishing up my new shop and plan to finish up the Viper this winter. I only have the bottom left to blueprint and repaint the hull. Once that is all done, I'm jumping into the V6 Merc, gearcase and props.

Please don't write me off....I haven't gone away

Here's pics that I took this evening to verify that it's not "buried". After moving it out of the way for a year now...you can bet it's going to get finished. Need to get my heat wired and plumbed and the compressor hooked and I'll be ready to get back to work.

I did find some time this summer to get my feet wet though.....

Thanks Jeff!
Looks like you had a good time in Texas and got the chance to "stretch" those Merc legs. I look forward to chasing you down those long river stretches sometime soon.

I want to be like you when I grow up

If you want to be like me, never grow up........... it just makes you OLD!

Nice ceiling in your shop. Looks familiar....

Well, finally back to work on the Viper. It's been almost a year and a half collecting workshop dust. I recently acquired a fiberglass windshield reproduction from AFR. Got the old cracked unit out with advice from Cody and working on getting the bent frame back into shape
