Man that is a good looking color. Looks very familiar. LOL

Noticed the motor installed on the back, did you pull it off to paint or leave it?

Hopefully you do better then me on finish time now. I think I finished the paint and it still took another year before she was finally splashed.

Keep up the good work

aka Blue Fin 16 thank for your comment ps nice throw with cast net

 

[SHSU]

Really Nice Sir!!!! She came together quick.

As for the name, my little admiral named it "Taylor's Boat". She says its her boat. LOL

I don't argue with the little admiral and as long as she keeps "letting" me use it I am happy.

aka Blue Fin 16 thank for your comment ps nice throw with cast net

Pancake with the old Betts mullet net (excellent throwing & super fast sinking).

IIRC I pulled-up a flathead catfish in that throw...which didn't do me any good b/c i was after gizzard shad. :lol:

 

[Rikkie]

Well not quite ready for the water
was running Maine motor on muffs and#4 carb started flooding

when I pulled air box off l found that the last person to put on air box on got 3 out 4 vac lines pinched or cut by air box

I found out carb are plastic so I'll just keep working on it till I get it right for water testing? The kicker works well

 

[SHSU]

At this point with the previous owner doing some questionable stuff, why not just do a complete clean/rebuild of the carbs. Easy/cheap option to help prevent future issues.

Yes I will just have to hope the plastic not warped and the bowls seal I think I'll do elec. Primer too
