Amazing work budski! What was the material you used to set the fuel tank on? The black strips...

 

[budski]

Thanks Ciera, we used 1 X 1/2 strips of rubber.

Hey uh Budski. Are you to the point where your driving to see the boat ramp yet. I used to on scrap runs. It was on the way and all. Just wondering that thing is ready for water aint it?

 

[budski]

I think it will be awhile yet chevy, we won't have soft water for at a couple of months yet.

We've decided to rebuild the transom, found some dry rot at the bottom

 

[Watermann]

Good find, east fix on the most important structural element.

 

[budski]

That's for sure Rob, here's our new transom, just dry fitted so far
