Pontoon boat resto (Part 3) Seat placement, attempt lower unit reseal, salt water sucks.

Can't get some of the lower unit apart, so we have to leave it. Installed the impeller, then of course my drain plug was stripped! Had to weld a bolt to it to be able to remove it because it was so recessed nothing would grab it. Then try to figure out seat layout floor plan since they arrived!

I attempt to reseal the entire lower unit but fail, I can not get it apart, so just do the water impeller
Take a ride on a KTM Duke for intermission pleasure.

I must be totally insane to pick up another boat project, but I guess it's in my blood. This one is a 1989 Lowe 189 (18' 9”) with a Johnson 40hp VRO loopcharged small gearcase and a standard boat trailer (not for pontoon). It was in a super hard spot to retrieve it from too, thankfully I own a Jeep Wrangler with big tires or I would have never gotten it out of where it was! The last boat I restored was a Bayliner weekender 24 foot, I converted it from an I/O to an outboard. Cleaned it up put a lot of hours into it then nobody in my family was interested so I sold it... So why did I buy another project? I already have a SeaDoo jet boat which I totally rebuilt the engine. I also have a Seadoo Jetski SP800 that I rebuilt the engine on too. Guess I am a glutton for punishment... NAH, I just love buying cheap shit and turning it into something. Something somebody else totally gave up on and left for junk. I get a good feeling inside, it's like a quest, so long as the project is not to the point of costing a fortune over what the worth of the thing is!
