No torpedo tubes on this 1920's classic! She might be in the water in 2 to 3 weeks. I have the smaller items to add. Railing, etc. Go over the drive shafts again. Add 4 nylon thrust washers to the stuffing boxes. Additional shaft grease. We know how important shaft grease is. Then there is the domestic cleaning tank(bathtub) test float to achieve correct waterline using lead weight. Leak check(don't suspect any as the hull is completely fiber glassed). Radio check for range. Hmmmm....need a check list.
