[QUOTE="milli, post: 412109, member: 20997"] Yesterday I got a lot done. My newer carb came in. I tore it all the way down and cleaned it and rebuilt it. Then I went and picked up a new 6 gallon tank and fuel hose. I also replaced the fuel hose going from the fuel pump to the carb, and the spark plugs. The fuel pump looks in bad shape but works for now. I plan to replace that this coming weekend along with the water pump. For now the motor is all back together finally and will be ready to start today. If everything goes well today I plan to head to the lake Thursday to do a test run. On a side note: I pulled up a corner of the flooring and it is real bad. The PO just laid new plywood over the old rotten floor. The original floor crumbles in your fingers. My son is 30 lbs and he was walking around in the boat earlier that day and the floor was bowing... That's bad. I am going to have to tear it all apart before my trip. I was not planning on having to get to it so soon however if it bows from a kid I'm sure it would break with me walking on it. I am going to start some research this week about aluminum flooring. I don't know pricing, grades, or thicknesses, time to install?? (If anyone has any thoughts or past experiences please let me know) If it looks to be to costly to do aluminum then I am going to just use exterior grade 5/8 or 3/4 plywood and seal it and lay some carpet down.
