Scott what are you screwing the dura brite snapa into? Did you have to add a pc. of wood or material to secure to?

 

[Scott Danforth]

the ceiling / upper deck is cored with 1/2" of balsa with 3/16" of fiberglass on the top and almost an 1/8" of glass on the inside.

 

[kcassells]

You lucky dog! Mine is all glass. Thanks.

spring loaded plungers securing the cockpit cushion over the porta-potty



The admiral already started adding decorative pillows....

 

[Scott Danforth]

had some buds come over and help with a few things....

washed off the foredeck
washed out the cockpit
installed the remainder of the interior....

only the one cushion over the motor is currently the original. I have the new one, finishing that tonight.

Looking Good, Scott.

When you we get to see a 'splash' . . . it must be soon :thumb:

 

[kcassells]

Smelling a "splash".

 

[alldodge]

Smelling a "splash".

About the same as the smell of a unicorn

 

[Scott Danforth]

Smashed finger....... But drive is on

 

[tpenfield]

It will be splashed with a smashed . . .

I hope the finger is going to be OK.

 

[Scott Danforth]

oral applications of whiskey.....

 

[Scott Danforth]

forgot to post these pics the other day.

installed the breathers. used an old hot-rodders trick. make a stand-off pipe and stuff it with fiberglass screen material (or brillo pads) the oil vapors collect on the screen to become droplets and run back down into the motor vs becoming droplets on the breathers and running down the outside onto the valve covers


and the drive prior to installation.

Going to try to wrap the boat up early this morning to take it with us camping, however realistically, may need to finish it Sunday when we get back.

 

[kcassells]

Looking good old man! Concur with your medical issue remedy for smashed finger. Have a good weekend away.

 

[Scott Danforth]

Drive on....
props mounted.....

motor didnt want to start easy, no squirt from accelerator pump. sticking check valve in Accelerator pump circuit - fixed
need to re-mount the carb and check for fuel leaks

intermittent power to the trim pump, that is the next thing to trace down....

have a tick in one of the valve rockers, that is on the list......

 

[Scott Danforth]

only crazy if it didnt work.

couldnt get the drive all the way down to set the trim indicator.....

so.....lowered the ground under it

 

[Scott Danforth]

friday some guy blows a stop sign in front of Tammy.......

 

[Scott Danforth]

spent Saturday tearing the garage apart looking for things to go back on/in the boat

discovered the carb accelerator pump wasnt squirting.

the check valve in the bowl was stuck along with the check valve at the discharge

fenders and PFD's

 

[alldodge]

Bummer on the car, hard place to fix also

Carb, motor tick, like they say need to use machinery or they act up. Some day it will splash :thumb:

 

[Scott Danforth]

that is the car that hit us. the bumper on the truck is what got hit. I dont feel sorry for the guy, he got the ticket. My buddy works at a GM dealer, getting a new bumper at his cost.

the tick was adjusted with 1/8 turn of the adjustment nut on cylinders 4 and 5

PFD's and fenders already stowed

Looking good! Sorry about the fender bender.
