Not given up yet. We are just scrounging supplies together to do the bench seats but we finally got a spring like day so yard work and maybe a run in the bilgeliner is prolly the plan for the day. Stay tuned though, work is progressing and oops! is kliking away with the camera. Now if he can only find that damn cord.....

I think he should just get a crappy computer over there and put up a webcam. I bet it gets more hits than some stripper in Miami gets

I can just imagine the comments....:redface:

5 pages back just means it's being kept warm by all the other posts in front of it.

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

Hello, I am new to the site and have just finished reading this whole post. Wow, what a project. I am currently about to start my own but I will get into that on my own post. I just wanted to say that i like the wing/wakeboard tower idea, but it is going to be hard to get it to match the body style of the boat. Try rounding all the angles in the design. Just an idea.

This sounds like a great product/service for your new shop to offer. I would think there would be a big market for custom swim platforms.

Hey Oops, you could get a card reader for the memory card in your camera-- they're cheap and a lot more convenient than using a camera cord. Especially if you have a lot of pics to download!

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

Get a card reader or if it's the mini-usb to usb style camera cord I'll mail you 10 of them from my tickle trunk. I'll just send 1 every couple weeks until you stop finding places to lose them in lol

Uh huh, Alexanders Beach Front Pub, the ladies there and on the beach can make you forget that there is a lake!!!

Hey Oops, glad to hear that you are still plunking along! Need to see some pics though......I am back in a week and I better not have to come down there and take them myself!!!

*sigh* wished I could make that trip this year... things have changed for me. Sold the house (pressure is on to finish the boat now), not sure about the employment situation (would make it hard to have any vacation time), and all the other crap that's going on. Won't be until June that I even know what's going to happen to me. Either way, if you need/want an extra cable just say the word.

If this had crossed my mind last August I would have went out of my way on my way to Washington state.

Unfortunately, the oil biz here is slow to kick up because even though we're sitting on pretty much the largest batch of oil in the world... most of it is oil sands and the technology just hasn't developed yet. The first in that field are going to be set for life! The refinery though is gearing up for a multi-billion dollar expansion. I'm a computer engineer with a bunch of skills but unfortunately I have something hanging over my head at the moment. If you feel like calling I'll explain it to ya. If this thing wasn't hanging over my head right now I'd be there in a heartbeat.
