This is one of my favorite shots - Bill John

On June 5, 2004 Bill Mehan and Bryan Milazzo transported TipBack to the Vintage Race Boat Shop, to join our Saturday Morning Gathering and to run TipBack on Back Bay - for some carburetion testing.

       

       

       

       

         

All went well, except for one minor hose clamp repair, and the new carburetor allowed the motor to spin up to the desired 4,500 RPM's. Yup, it was a good day ???!!!

 

 

Stay tuned for more project details and photos, and please stop by and join our Saturday Morning Gatherings.
