Transplant

The Full Circle is staged and ready for its transplant surgery.



 
We even have a donor for the stern drive, and it has been removed.


Once the transplant is complete, the donor will become part of the motorcycle trials course. Nothing goes to waste at the Pashley Ranch, but does anyone need a boat trailer? Hopefully, you'll soon see that on Craig's List.

When the two stern drives were placed side by side, we could easily see what the overheating and leaking problem was. The saltwater corrosion was extensive and Dave had tried to seal it up.




The donor is a fresh water boat and its stern drive is in perfect condition.

Once it's launched and we come 'full circle' once again, we're hoping all its problems will be solved, including better steering. Time for the Bayliner to be revived so it can live on to see better days on the water.
