An insane number of hours 🙂
In fact, it’s not even mine, it belongs to a friend who has a 35" boat, so this is for the small boat, home made in wood.
I spend almost a whole winter working on it, filling/sanding all done by hand, since I only have a small bench grinder for the final step with compound.
So .. How many hours ?
I prefer not to know 🙂

So of course I wanted the motor perfect 🙂
It was in a decent shape, complete and only some minor dents on the tank :

Exhaust port had casting defects so needed a little job with a Dremel.
