[QUOTE="HOUSE, post: 321224, member: 4466"] Update: 7/1/2013: Got the boat up and running. The motor issue was actually a fuel issue more or less. The carbs were pretty clogged and it wasn't getting enough gas so it wouldn't idle. Seafoam and a partial rebuild got it up and running just fine, now it idles like a champ. I had to rewire the rear trailer light. I woke up to find it hanging by a single wire, and I have no clue how it happened. We'll see if it ends up being an issue down the road as water will most likely get into it now. I disconnect my trailer wiring before I dunk the boat, so I think I'll be okay. I touched up the trailer with some black paint to cover up the rust spots, too. I'll post updated pics soon. The livewell project is still the final hold up before I take it out. I also need to install the new fishfinder on it. It won't be long before I post my first picture of the boat out on the lake... House (Bigwave - cool website. I may "borrow" some ideas from the livewells on there when I make mine. I think you were right and shipping is the biggest killer for most livewells on the net. Thanks for the link.) [/QUOTE]
