Re-powered '59 finally back in the water

This took a lot longer than I thought it would! We decided to re-power our old '59 Larson run-about with a cleaner, quieter and more reliable motor last year.  This is one of those kinds of projects that just keeps getting bigger until you finally get it all done.  New controls, upgraded steering, re-wired which meant a new wiring harness in a new loom...

Now that it's back on the water it's really so much nicer.  No oil slick from the old Johnson v-4, super quiet, no exhaust smoke either.  Hazel approves!

Maiden voyage under new power.  Smooth, quiet and a little misty. I kept the old Larson All American steering wheel but am replacing the old gauges. 

Not finished yet with mounting the fuse panel, but so much fun to be back on the water!
