^^^ Exactly what I was thinking. He just gave away his last excuse. It floats, it's got steerable power.

Start chasing him boys.

Legal Smegal....... You're a better man than me, I'd be lacing up those running shoes to go troll around the ramp with it by now just to test that I had the troller wired right.


Its lookin sweet Jas and really coming together. You've got quite a bit done, and the work screams this ain't just any other fishin boat.

I'm leaving in 9 hours to go elk hunting in Colorado. When I get back on the 24th I expect to see a picture of you holding a fish caught from this boat!!! Can't wait to see her.

Re: 1968 15' Starcraft Jet Star Rebuild

Wow! The angry mob sure seems to be gaining strength! You guys are coming out of the wood work Shoot, even Chuck jumped in, where do you come from man???

Ok, ok, ok....

Lets see here...

For those of you that follow along you know I like to make short lists in order to stay on task. Well, lets see if I can make a short list that actually has the finish line included. Hopefully this will appease the mob.:redface:

-Sand the deck down, epoxy with texture (sand)
-Clean/prime/paint the inner hull and deck
-Build/paint and install the console
-Rig the controls, steering, gauges, electrical, fuel tanks/lines, batts
-Stick on some decals and MC numbers

Sea Trials

-Paint and install casting deck hatch
-Build and install seating and rod holders

Maiden Voyage

All right, I believe that about does it. I am sure I am forgetting a few things but that seems to be the major stuff from here on anyway

Ok, so, if that doesn't satisfy the mob I suppose I my last card to play is food. I could get the grill going and flip some fat steak burgers for you guys

Re: 1968 15' Starcraft Jet Star Rebuild

That doesn't quite cut it Jas, we need a time line.....

Oh man, I hate timelines. They are so rigid!!! So finite!! Ugh.

All right, here is what I am shooting for.

Sea Trial as close as I can to..

Complete project and Maiden Voyage by...

(I reserve the right to bypass these dates and commence running from the mob at any point in time)

Ya know fellas, we could just storm up Jason's driveway and carry his boat down to the lake and throw it in.

Sorry about all this pressure Jason, don't forget it's just a sign of how excited we all are to see this thing come to fruition.

Re: 1968 15' Starcraft Jet Star Rebuild

Yah, I am pretty excited too buddy

But REMEMBER!

I still have the final push to finish my brides kitchen too. Angry Mob has nothin on an angry Jen

Re: 1968 15' Starcraft Jet Star Rebuild

Do you guys even have wives? Do you not know how this stuff works? Are you guys claiming to "wear the pants" here on iboats because she'll never see you saying so?

When Jen says...

"That boat better not be finished before my kitchen is." With "the look", um, well, I'm pretty sure she means it.

Yah, she doesn't quite see things the way we do my friend. If it's floating it's finished.
