1962 Express Gassers coming out...

Spring has sprung and work has begun.
Spent last night un-wiring the tower.
Will remove it to ease removal and install of motors with a straight lift.

Mechanic spent time today unhooking and unbolting the ol' 440's.

Soon as one boat gets moved, shes ready to have the travel lift come over to pull tower, then motors.
Or maybe some fancy lift maneuvering to squeeze in, maybe if I'm feeling adventurous and guys not ready to go in.

Then its give a good cleaning and prep for install.

Yikes...its happening.

Good luck Carl !

And, you know, measure twice and cut once! Post pics along the way. Keep your hands in your pockets, as during this time they have a tendency to empty by themselves!
