It&#8217;s ALIVE!!  It roared to life in the driveway last night and by all indications seems to be performing to spec.  It ought to be since by the time I was done I had basically replaced the entire electrical system.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it was way cheaper than a new boat, and much less than paying someone else to swear at it.  However, I did learn a thing or two.  One: marine parts are damned expensive.  Two: I don&#8217;t want to be a boat mechanic.<\/p>\n<p>The proof will be this weekend when it gets dunked in the lake.  I&#8217;m gonna be one damned ornery puppy if it runs for 10 minutes and dies.  It ran for the first 21 years without any trouble at all.  All I&#8217;m expecting is another 21 now that this is done.   Yeah right.  But I&#8217;d settle for a good summer or two.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Brought to you by Tim&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/\">-Read the whole blog here-<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the risk of jinxing the whole she-bang, the long long saga of repairing my boat is finally done.
