Wait 'til you send him the bill for your labor. It must be a mountain of Wobbly Pops!

Hey GA, ya no bill for labor, but he does bring a good supply of the desired brand of wobbly pops every time he comes to help.

Damn she looks good. *Burp*

Hey Paul , the burps usually come after the work is done, except for paint strip day and polish day *Burp*
The desired pop

Re: 1987 16 ss

Dozer - I have been looking around for this stuff too. I happens to be right here on iboats. The first link is to the stuff with the holes in it already but it is white. Not sure how that would look on that little black dress you have her in but the second link is darker foam so that may go for you. That dark foam looks a lot like stuff used for door jam insulation which I can find local and not pay shipping. I think I am just going the local route myself.

Re: 1987 16 ss

wow, that's a nice 2012 Glencraft SS 160 there.

She even has 'sex lights'. Maybe you should change that front light post, for a stripper pole.

This one wrapped up too fast, you need another project. That's awesome.

The boat looks fantastic.

Re: 1987 16 ss

Simply beautifull!!!! Top contender for the SOTY for sure. Now the splash. There must be an indoor pool around you can use for a 1/2 hr.

Those look like the Faria gauges I have. yes-no?

How does it feel to have a brand NEW boat? Congrats

Thanks Osby, I don't really need another project, the other SS has been under cover for a long time and is a one owner boat, we are going to repower it and flip it in the spring.

Thanks Mike, no pools around here, there are only 20 people live in the ghost town we live in and 1700 in the town 8 miles way. She will have to wait till the lakes soften, not too far away.Those look like the Faria gauges I have. yes-no?

These gauges are Teleflex Lido s
igniture.How does it feel to have a brand NEW boat? Congrats

Re: 1987 16 ss

Okay Darcy was here this weekend and so was oldman winter, we got 5 inches of snow and the wind blew real hard last night.
We got a lot done on the Naked Lady again. Because of where we boat, all the lakes have at least 6 to 10 miles of gravel road to get to them ,we had to build a bow buddy to protect the "Precious Naked Lady"right Darcy. It is built out of 1"square tubing and 1/4"puck board ( poly sheeting). Mounted the Bimmini top, trolling motor and the two batteries. The fishing tool holder and the two cushions for the bow seating.

Re: 1987 16 ss

Forgive my ignorance here. I knew pool noodles were closed cell foam, but I had no idea they are alright to use for flotation in boats. Just running some fast math in my head, it seems like they are a who lot cheaper than buying the sheets of closed cell foam from the local supplier.

Is it OK just to use the pool noodles, or are you going to pour some other foam around them?

Thank you in advance,

Brett

Re: 1987 16 ss

Looks great all fitted out Glen. That "bow buddy" is pretty slick.

Re: 1987 16 ss

The "Naked Lady" isn't naked any more. She put a bra on.

Final rigging looks great, DII. She have the OB hung or is that the very last step?

Hey Brett, the pool noodle work very well for flotation, you can cut and notch them for a real tight fit and get lots of them in tight. If you can find them at a dollar store they are fairly inexpensive. I think is ie Ezmobee we can thankk for this idea.

A bra that's a good one GA thanks you too, the outboard is still in Darcy's garage in Alberta, when we are all wrapped up here I will tow it out there and we will install the outbard, it is an 85 hp Yamaha.
