Gary, All I can say is WOW! You have really made remarkable progress.


Aw, thanks.

Engine. Is that a Gray Marine unit?

The engine is a Chris Craft model "M"
which is, I believe, based on the Hercules JXD
engine with a few different parts for the
marine use. It's 130 horse, about 800 lbs
and seems to be built to last.
