Looks like fun!

Had to cut a couple of wooden supports for the decking in the bilge. Moved them back about 3" on each side so the new motor mount pads would clear and then reinstalled. Also had to trim the outboard stern quarters of the motor mount pads. This is okay as the mounts themselves are cut on a...

Oh, and the motor is off the bench and on the floor by the door....I'm getting excited as it's lookin' like it will be a boat soon!

Booked the engine for the dyno next Wednesday! Been filing aluminum edges on the cradle all day. If it's not raining in the morning I'll do a test fit.

Picked up the engine cradle today. Unfortunately it's raining so i can't test fit to see if the modifications worked. Also sorted out more steel braided lines and Earls AN fittings for the pumps, coolers and fuel lines.... whew! Now I remember why I retired from racing...$$$$.

I don't think I can upload images here. I don't have an off site host (and will not get one). I'd e-mail you some pics if you want to post 'em.

Parry Sound is just North West of Muskoka but has a very similar look and feel in certain parts. Lick's is a quasi-popular mini chain. I can't finish one of their burgers.... However, Parry Sound had the greatest "dive-of-a-watering-hole" called "The Anchor". Pretty much a rite of passage...

Yep, know it well. Have spent a few summers on Rice Lake (near Roseneath)

Yep, there's been some flooding in Muskoka this spring.... but I hear the water level will be normal by this weekend! I could have driven your motorhome to Saskatchewan for you!!!! At least done slip-seat... :)

Very nice! Where's that your boating?

That is one COOL boat!

A cottage district for generations located in clear Canadian spring fed system just 1.5 hours north of Toronto! This area was first popularized by vacationing Americans and became the premiere area in Canada for classic wood boat builders. The lakes (Muskoka, Rosseau and Joseph) are all calm...

Well, that's the aim.... but I'm finding all kinds of issues retrofitting a new motor in an old boat!

Okay, they are now pressurized up to 5 PSI see note at bottom... NOTE: All fuel tanks manufactured after January 1st, 2011 for sale in the United States are required to remain sealed up to a minumum of 5psi per new EPA regulations. This assists in preventing fuel evaporation, saving gas and...

Okay, maybe free enterprise dictates that you should stake a claim on those "sometimes islands" and then sell the real estate! Do they ever expect the water to rise to it's former level? Two weeks ago I had to go to my friends cottage on Lake Muskoka (north of Toronto) to help him tie off...

yeah, cause having them run at the lake would be too eay...LOL. What's this EPA deal??? I'm pretty sure you MUST vent your fuel tank or the pressure becomes dangerous...maybe the vent must run through a charcoal filter or something?

It would cost me too much to divorce my wife and, IF I ever did...there'd be no boat to name.

I can't imagine how P.O'd the people that own property there are ... I mean, If I boughta cottage/house on a lake to go boating...I'd want to boat! Look at all those docks sitting dry in the pictures. man....

You should send a note in to "woodyboater" this would be snapped up by one of their "faithful" ...I'm sure. http://www.woodyboater.com/ whoops nevermind...7 month old thread.

Well, no Miata for the driveway quite yet.... I just picked up a 1994 Mercedes E400 AMG S1! This is a very rare car with only 80 units produced! It is a 300HP V8 with all kinds of AMG suspension, brake and trim upgrades.And it is in my favorite colour..dark blue (so, I couldn't resist)
