So, did not accomplish on dadgum thing this last weekend with the boat.. heh

I had so much going on, did not have time. So, this week, the new master cylinder goes in.. then re-bleed the brakes and add the new winch and test the trailer. I may need to take it to the lake just to get it back up on the trailer further, will see. It is not sitting on the dadgum rollers, about 6in too far back, but we could not get it all the way there and were blocking boats.

Then, picked up one of the flush kits to flush water through the pumps at the house and also grabbed 2 of the dual engine flush with the water flush from both sides. Going to swap out the water pump etc on both first, then will test those and then work on all water systems before we drop her back in.

What will all of you be doing?

What will I be doing? I'll be waiting for a 270 without a hardtop and no bottom paint to show up on the internet! I wish I knew how many they made without a hardtop so I could determine what my odds are of finding another. I might have to settle for one with a hardtop and modify it.
If I'm lucky, maybe fish Saturday or Sunday morning.
I wish you well with your project. If I were in your shoes, I would prioritize the items that have to be done to at least get you on the water. The other stuff can be handled as time permits.

You should have gotten one with a hardtop and sold it to me.. lol

I have prioritized the water items, just "thinking out loud" as I have nothing else to do lol.

She will/should be on the water this month. I will not be able to take her to the coast, but I will have her on the lake again as soon as I fix the small list. I may opt to find a bigger lake though lol

If you had waited 2 months, I could have made that deal work on the hardtop!

Ho hum. My boat is sitting in a slip waiting for me to use it. Hasn’t seen much action since early August.
