And here's a little something to soothe the nerves & to go with your early am cup of coffee:

Got ice cream?

You know the 'good' vanilla ice cream w/ the real vanilla bean flecks....

Jas is protecting his turf... I like that...

A couple of whacks to the head and good kick to the mid-section... Now, don't you feel better? Glad we could help.

Hi Guys:

I dunno! Each time I get back to this tinny thread I see a bunch of "guys" talking about pie, coffee and now Jello! It's not like that on a "glasser" thread!

What, did you miss the 5 plus pages on battery placement. Jello well, pie yea, but watch out coffee is serious business.

Right, that's why we hang here. It's the homey feel of the joint & Jas puts up w/ the shenanigans! He certainly gives as good as he gets!

Besides there's all that toxic dust filtering through the air & onto every G.D. thing we own over on the 'glasser threads. And the respirator makes coffee drinking difficult!
:rolleyes::D:cool:

We have to celebrate every milestone. There was more discussion about batteries then about engine installation...

Jas- limits of eyes around the z bridge. Jig head with a fin s minnow or live. That's what the jet was made for!

Yah man, nothing like a couple of good swats to put those school yard punks in their place:D

Yah, more black lung type stuff over there...

but watch out coffee is serious business.

All the more reason to be hateful to the glass!:p

Oh gosh, that's embarrassing when ya put it that way:redface:

Ya know, I drove by the Tittabawassee yesterday and saw some boats in the water then I remembered...

"OH YAH, THAT"S WHY I BUILT THE JET!!!!"

I should get her unwrapped...

Hey, besides smackin around a couple of problematic iboats members I did manage to install those "bulkhead riser" deals.

PL all over the place and riveted in...

I actually made a legitimate intelligent move and painted the cabin side before install. That would have been a challenge to keep the paint off of the nice white vinyl...

(I just noticed a little blob of PL there I'll need to touch up)

I know there is a seem there but that will be on the inside of the storage box so not a bigge at all.

That joint is a rabbit (not just a butt joint) but these pieces are not as bomb proof as I like yet. When I add the rest of the structure it'll be rock solid.

Have a great weekend guys:)

Give the Jet a righteous induction & catch some eyes while their a biting!

Enjoy the weekend, esp if it's in, on, around or fishing from the Jet!:cool:

This is faint whisper of your Jetstar calling...

It's cold and lonely out here ... I'm thirsty (give me a little drink of gas).... Take me for a ride... Take me fishing....

I'm all rigged and ready...my battery is charged and ideally placed... Let's roll..

^^ Bump ^^ Nudge ^^

I heard that Diehard and Everlast were both pushing for sometime in March. Something about it being a part of their contracts...

Splash date, yah, not so much:rolleyes:

I'm glad I got those bulkhead pieces in place as now I can work my way through the seat boxes. Like I mentioned, it'll be quite a few steps so I'll post up some photos when it makes sense to.

Have a great weekend guys:)

By the way, here's what TallTX drew up...
