It starts!

The risk paid off tonight. The boat started; albeit for only long enough to verify that it's firing on all cylinders and doesn't make any horrible sounds when running. It's not getting any fuel, so that's the next issue.

I spent the night working on it with Dad, and remembered how crazy the three boys get when I don't pay enough attention to them. I'll spend more time with them tomorrow night. Now that I know it runs, I'm not feeling so frantic about working on it.

I'm thrilled it runs! Very excited to go through all the maintenance stuff and get it back on the water.
