The Ressurection of a Reef Wreck!!!!!

No actually an Ocean Express Cat I will show pics of the whole boat shortly

if it's the one with the bluish/teal tripe on the rear side from the rear top going toward the front bottom, it ran pretty hard. Glad to see someone redoing it as it's a cool boat. Last I saw it was a couple of weeks/months ago at Larry's.

Remember NOT to use split lock washers on the drive shaft bolts!!!

Do NOT use any washers at all unless they are hardened!!!

and DO NOT use bolts that are threaded all the way to the head of the bolt..:sifone:
