I know i'm always making progress but today is really the first time it's really felt like i got somthing done, probably because it's starting to go back together.
Today i installed the suction, bowl and transom housing as well as the new ski toe eye's and water dump hardware. The back looks nice now, i didnt get a finished picture tonight but i'll get some tomorrow. Here's some before and after pics!

Using Silicon is a pain in the ass but i can only imagine what it would be like trying to squeese a gasket in between the bowl and transom housing. All in all i'm happy with how it's tunring out so far. I havnt yet installed the rest of the pump (droop, nossle, reverse bucket) because it's all put together and i dont have the cables yet so i dont want the stuff slamming around when towing. I'm hoping next weekend i'll have the shifter, steering, bezels and guages installed and then i can dunk this thing and see if i have any leaks!
