Re: Transom assemblies and engine room makeover
The FlexSeal in the bilge is still curing. Although their literature says you can paint it with any topcoat, they fail to mention that your paint will peel like a bad sunburn. Before the engines go back in, I'll coat it again to see if it sticks.
Today I spent seven hours working on the wiring, turning mess into beauty. Installed slotted cable trays. Cut out the OEM wiring harness for speakers and lighting (because I've replaced it with modern stuff). Reinstalled the battery cables in proper fashion -- NO MORE WIRES LAYING IN THE BILGE. Sliced open most of the OEM wiring harnesses so I could route the ground cables to a unified ground bus. Rinker must have had a blood-money deal with producers of zip ties and electrical tape.
When I finish this project, I'll pay for it by charging admission to see the engine room. Mechanics will PAY ME to work on the boat. I will also be younger, better-looking, taller and richer.

Re: Toys when you were a kid.
My Mother still maintains my mental state is a direct result of breathing in my various chemistry experiments 😂. Used to be able to go to the local pharmacy and buy saltpeter and sulphur etc in large cans and make our own fireworks.

Re: Toys when you were a kid.
Remember the GI Joe and the Evel Kneivel stunt cycle. My brothers had those. Way too poor for the bike. Had a chopper style bike but no speeds or fancy brakes.
Hey, when I was young we were so poor my mother cut the bottoms out of my pockets just so I had something to play with......

Re: Joke of the Day
Did you ever wonder why earrings became so popular with men?
A man is at work one day when he notices that his co-worker is wearing an earring. The man knows his co-worker to be a normally conservative fellow and is curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense".
The man walks up to him and says, "I didn't know you were into earrings."
"Don't make such a big deal, it's only an earring," he replies sheepishly.
His friend falls silent for a few minutes but then his curiosity prods him to ask "So, how long have you been wearing one?"
"Ever since my wife found it in my truck.

Re: Transom assemblies and engine room makeover
You're definitely going to need that touch up paint after you get the engines put back in. I was impressed with how good it looked initially also unfortunately it didn't stay that way for very long.
