[QUOTE="Buckethead, post: 316987, member: 9470"] Yes I did get the leak test done and it went good. It sat it on my patio filled with water from 6 am until after 1 and it did not leak. I got it mounted along with most of the framing in the bow since my last update. I've got quite a few pictures from the last few weeks but forgot to update. Also got my outboard picked up last Friday night. Had a surprise waiting for me when I got to the sellers house, he said it has not been ran since it's last service last year, new plugs, clean carbs, basically ready to go all for $250. Got it home, hung, it on the boat and somehow broke the kill button. Not sure if it was riding on it somehow on the way home or if it was already broke, either way it has to be replaced. I got the tank all cleaned, vented and permanently mounted and when I installed the vent I blew through it just to hear the air flow and discovered that there is a small screen inside the pick-up tube that was completely full of rust, leaves, and lord knows what else. Got that all cleaned out, re-installed and now a fuel line is all that I lack. I'll pick that up this week along with a kill button and hopefully finish the framing in the stern and we'll be just about ready for a trashcan water test then maybe sea trials. Here's a few pictures. Buckethead [/QUOTE]
