Couple of times. Left messages. What we have here is a failure to communicate. I guess I'll have D K make me one from a drawing I sent him. Meanwhile there is progress. I have my midsection back, the boat has steering and the front half decked. We had a driving rain all day today or the deck would be 100% on.
No room for layout in the "shop"!! Here's the latest pics

Bill
Mike is a very busy man that is why he suggested you call him very early in the day like 8 am or before you must catch him then
Constantine and now the pro nationals are coming up he is busy preparing his rig as well as others im sure , he said he was doing much boat repair any way as far as him calling you back don't feel bad if he calls me back it is usually late in day or even sometimes late evening
just keep trying early am 7 am 8 am etc no later or you will miss him he said he had several brackets so the longer you wait to less may be available if he still has them it will be faster and less expensive than D.K. im sure
do not give up im sure it is not personal with mike he is just busy after all he told me to have you call him "EARLY am" lololol after 8 am is probably a waste of your time
your rig looks good congrats

Aloha all, here's the latest. I got ahold of Mike who was very helpful and sent that fin I needed. It's a beaut. So now the decks are all on and last nite I added some reinforcements to the cowling.
It has been brutally hot here and with the southern summer humidity the heat index is 115!
So progress has slowed somewhat, but the decks are ready for sanding and epoxy primer, I hope to get the system 3 primer by this weekend. I have some nice Sterling for the finish.
My thanks to Randy for the help in getting the fin.

So to start with we did the "oldest D Quincy Restoration". Here's a couple pics of that one. Doug Kay built the stacks for me. It should be no slouch, it will be fun to run.
i see 1 item you may wish to change , it is the rope pull this was an original mercury rope pull..
in more modern times they have been known to come apart and in some cases turn to flying shrapnel !!
you may wish to replace it as it will sooner or later come apart ..
i had 1 on 2006 it was all polished and pretty shined like a brand new Quarter and lasted 5 races before a chunk had come off and landed i know not where lolol
great looking engine i hope to see it run when ya get it done

Still super-hot here. But I'm glad I'm not in Dallas!

August 25th, 5 more days I'll be 71! Hard to believe - all the stuff I worked on is "FOJ" now. Making some progress in spite of the heat. Hope to make a race end of September. Still a long way to go. At least the boat is essentially done, I just have to finish the painting, install a throttle, floorboard and some cushioning material for my old bod.
Finally joined all 3 big chunks of the motor together. Still working on magnetos and considering the SS setup. I have all the pieces - -
My prayers are with you East Coasties. I went thru IVAN in 2003, no more waterfront for me!
