    Been a while since any updates....here are some. I will be on the water by next week testing.

    I have it a little more together now, I was just too tired to take any more.

    You also have to deal with my Black Berry's crappy camera.

    I'll bet that you're glad that you used a light-colored paint throughout the bilge now, aren't you? Glad to see that you're almost finished. Keep us posted.

    I don't think I ever got around to posting pics of the final product. These were from the first test run and from my blackberry, so excuse the bad pic quality. It ran great last year. Blew up my out drive at the end, but have another on and ready to go for the spring. Lots of prop testing needed.

    Only stuff planned for this year is cosmetic, interior lighting, new cover, and lots of gas!

    Autozone won't have your starter.
    Be careful with older boats, as they are often no longer "stock" and you have to fit new parts to what is there now.
    You need a marine grade, USCG certified ignition protected starter in a boat. Guessing you have a smallblock and a bottom mount starter. You need to know the flywheel size.
    It's going to be either 12.75" or 14"
    Also guessing that being a single, you are right-hand rotation.

    You'll use something like this common small block marine starter:
