Thanks S.P., It sure feels good to be getting back at it...
Instead of giving my hard earned to gubmint folks via the hidden lottery tax...:mad-new:I'll just use it to restore my 'ol tub...:joyous:

Had a temporary issue with Photobucket, but now that is sorted out...something to do with an outdated version of Java...
Anyhoo...
Picked up fresh glassing supplies...

And spent part of Sunday Pre-fitting the "Nailer" pieces all around the top edge of the hull...

If my well laid plans do not go to pot for unforeseen reasons...then the BIG push is going to happen this weekend...fingers crossed...:pray:

Thank U!:victorious:

Acetone...I already know from experience gained throughout this wild ride that you can never have enough...

Between all the wipe downs and cleaning up of application stuff like chip brushes and mixing buckets, etc...it goes pretty quick...I guess in the end it is a trade off...I have only spent about 20 bucks on chip brushes and about the same on mixing containers...If I would not have used the Acetone to clean everything after use, I probably would spend the same or a bit more, as I have for Acetone, on the extra supplies...:indecisiveness:

They didn't have a 5 gallon jug, but they sell me the 5-ONE gallon jugs at the same price as the fiver, instead of 4 bucks more per gal...saves 20 bucks...

Nite, Nite Y'all...have a super 2nd of the week...

As Hannibal, of the A-Team, was fond of saying..."I love it when a plan comes together"...

New Surge Brake Actuator arrived via the Big Brown Truck, on schedule, this afternoon just as I was pulling up to the house...

Here's a shot of the old one...

And a shot of the new unit...

This is where it goes...

And here it is installed

Along with a new brake line...

Spent an enjoyable hour or so, installing it and now that I can tow the trailer, I am fired up to get some serious glassing done this weekend...

Happy Fri-DAY!:target:

Thats cool GT. I like that one alot better than the one we have for the pontoon. Its one of those big bulky ones that adds about 50# to the tongue wieght.:rolleyes:

Cann't wait to see more progress with the boat. Looking forward to it man.

Thanks JB, I know what you mean...some of those surge brake set ups are huge...this one is built this way by Tracker boats and the shipping weight of the insert is only 15 pounds complete...

Hope to have some good progress news by the end of the weekend...

Now may be the time

What's Tampa? 4hr drive?
hmmm.gif


You know you need 1, JDA's joint is much further journey for you or I then WOG....
Hmmm, that there is one good looking machine for very little scratch...the way I drive, yeah, 'bout 4 hrs...too bad timing is a bit off...I am already booked for the weekend and I don't think that one's gonna last through another week...oh well, still a ways off before I plan on any stitching...
