Well, I didn't get much finished, but I did get the motor "in" the boat. Not installed, but at least it's in the spot that it goes. My poor tacoma thinks it's an F350, but it really does get the job done. Before you go loading big diesels in the back of your tacomas, you should know we added 4 overload springs onto the original spring, that was just a single. I am currently waiting to bust an axle, but it didn't happen today!
So after the crazy drive over there with my overweight tacoma, we proceeded to pick the motor up really really high.
And then Harold pulled the boat forward while I shot pictures. Again I don't know if it's a light boat or a strong guy, but he didn't even strain, you'd think he was pulling one of those red kid's wagons
And here's some shots where if a rope came loose we would have seriously jackup up the boat
And then we finally got the motor set in where it goes.
We had quite a few little issues today, a couple of broken bolts in the motor, so tomorrow we are going to pick it back up and see if we can get this thing bolted down. I have just lined up the t top welder for Monday, so we have to get this thing bolted in before monday!
