Re: hull extension in progress with picks

thank you for the input....i appreaceate it....

ive decided not to do it

there is a guy here on i boats called bond-o......

he types one sentance answers that say about three pages of wisdom....

with all the posts ive recieved on this idea...ive decided not to do it....too many iff's

bondo just said i was tying to prevent a non issue......

im late at the store....its 7 30 here...im going to the boat now to try to get the deck ready for glassing....i need to put flanges in some areas to hold the ski lockers and the beer coolers...that is at least a night of waiting for it to cure....reguardless of how hot i make the mix of resin.....

i will be posting in detail the instlation of the deck...as this is a common thing on this site....

cheers

How about you get one of those electric trolling motors that mount on the outdrive? You can get 36v motors with 102lbs of thrust...should be enough to push that boat...

Or maybe find a small I/O set up and mount it next to the big one

i may mave found a zz4 racing motor for $2500...(50 hrs)

we'll see what happens with that.....not sure about a used racing motor....but if it is in great shape...it will do for what i need it to do....


but my heart is still set on the 383.

btw....red....can you photo shop a troller on the back of my swim grid???

What, like a little jet ski set up out the back off to the side? That'd be sweet! You could take the boat to the river!

My thoughts exactly. But then again with all the effort oops has into this boat, I'm sure he feels like he's been working on it for the past 27 years

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

Hey, neat idea with the deck board

Maybe you could archive this entire thread onto a CD-ROM and paper, and hand it over as part of the documentation to your heirs or the buyer if you ever sell

I'm still waiting to see your theme... it's gotta be cool, I know.
