Enforcer & Starliner on Lake Hopatcong (NJ)

Nice boat, Sim! What projects do you have planned for it?
I was thinking the the aftermarket intake manifold needs to be swapped back to original four bolt so choke can be hooked back up. A BI-OTCH at starting in cool weather. Maybe even in warm weather. Rotted rear hatch needs to be redone so actuator can be hooked back up. All the hinges as well. Fortunately the "emergency escape" works. Skins also need to be redone on sunpad. (as well as the rear bench) Head unit needs replacement on erratic CD unit. CD's now get eaten.
Also, horn and engine hatches are disconnected somewhere.
Place in water. Enjoy. Place on trailer. Bring home. Wash. Repeat. :)
Ah yes, if only it was quite that simple.

You forgot the get gas, get gas, get gas:D
Wish it was just about expensive feedings. That would be so cool. There's a reason they're called "she".
The fancy meals are the cheapest part.

Great pictures. Looks like you all had a great time. Boat might win the repair race over Mustang. Love boating.
Not sure exactly what that means. Have owned several Mustangs over the years-none altered or exotic. Praying that I never come to fully understand your statement.
Have a feeling that already isn't coming true.

Nonetheless, you've gotta hear the way this baby purrs in your ear.
 
If you need a hand with any of that stuff give me a shout. I would either convert the choke to an elelectric set up or just play with it until you figure out the trick to get it to start easily. If my big block Nova would start pretty easily in February with the entire choke assembly milled off completely that thing should not be hard to start without a choke in April or November. Maybe a weekend up at the lake with one day of tuning up and fixing electrical stuff followed by one day of relaxing on the water is in order.
