Should be running next week. 1971 kona 18' with 135 merc.

Oh gotcha lol well just waiting on distributor parts, might be in today if not Monday! Then see if she fires up. Then gotta take her to get timed and 'link and sync' or so they call it online ha these out boards are tricky compared to my bbc ha and I'm booked every weekend till about the middle of August so prob no lake test till then !

I'm loosing the 'cool' factor compared to my last boat but I think I'll have more fun in this one.. Lots more room, seats 6 comfy, compared to 4 in my blue boat.

The outboards are def growing on me. Dig the black and yellow also.

Dang almost had it back together lol everything was going good with the dizzy rebuild then messed up the new upper bearing, old one is toast also so can't use that. Anyone know some where in SoCal that carries bearings like these in stock? They're pretty basic. Like 10 bucks off eBay but I wanna try an get it fixed tomorrow .. Attachment 56284Attachment 56285
