NICE RIG >>>CONGRATULATIONS!!! Have a great season!

It's in my garage! brought it home today! Thanks guys

Just a couple kinda cool sunrise pics over looking the prairies east of town.

Easy peasy you can do it unbolt the head slide it off the pistons get the serial number tell them to bore it out for a new set of over size rings to your pistons now put the rings on slide it back on bobs your uncle 2 strokes are easy and that’s not a complicated motor personally I’d run it for the season the way it is are you very confident with the pressure test seriously rings are not big deal all said and done 500.00 on the high side if you do it yourself that’s with the boring make a nice stand bring it inside or out and just do it get a good tear down manual lots online YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

Usually a couple thousand bucks will be enough for an engine rebuild. basically turns your motor new again. id get a transom saver, aluminum wood transoms are soft to begin with, I personally don’t like the idea of flexing them constantly. low compression equates to low power. Luckily on an old carbed two stroke it’s not going to be a major major issue until it totally blows.

Refers to "re-building" the motor. In layman's terms: Hone....re-surface the cylinder wall (where combustion takes place) by removing a slight amount of metal and "polishing" to create a new surface Re-ring....replace the piston rings to create a better seal to prevent combustion gasses "slipping through" The end result is to restore the compression so you're back to the original power and fuel economy Unless, you have a decent amount of mechanical experience, not something for DIY.

It's not perfect but it appears to be a pretty decent boat. Couple of things (and I'm sure more will come up) will need to be addressed. It's a used older boat - I realize that it'll require some work and money as I own it. One worrying thing was that the compression was off by 30 between the 2 cylinders. He insisted that it ran really well. So we took it out (Owen Sound) and it started easily and ran really well for the 15 min we were out. We will see...

The one up north was pretty rough... this is what I ended up this:

Very nice. We've had some great sunrises and sets recently also. Minus the white stuff. Here's a couple from the other morning.

Hi all, walleye bite went nuts from 7pm for 45 minutes. must've got 20 or so between the two of us....nice evening too .
