Thanks Larry,
One of those days, ya know....you buy all these little parts go out to do something...……….Guess what no little parts among the trillion laying around.
So po. Re-order, wait.
Oh I put it here, no it's got to be there...no complete stop/meltdown.
Closed up the boat cover crawl out, look in the dirt and there's the pc. I needed to get to the next place.
Me done sacking out.
Always good to hear from you.

Thanks Mike,
Hopefully the retirement and being busy is a lot Happier too!
I am pleased with the progress. Going to drop in the bait well this weekend. Got the drainage and water hooked up. It's a little trickier but a pre-run today put a smile on me face cause it worked out fine.

 

[kcassells]

Sooooooooooo here I go.
Setting the bait well etc. another 34 oz hairy pb. Besides that just little thingys.needed to do prior. The complications were the water supply, drainage and then the approach to place the well.
I did do a trial run yesterday and made mods to work and hopefully with today and pb time frame would all work out and it did.

There's going to be a lot of grinding on these areas to make a nice blend. Did expect it....It's Alive!!!

 

[kcassells]

Bait well set up nicely. Got to the nasty and began grinding down the flanges on the fish wells.
Very happy with the look. Appears they can grind down to flush..I was sweating that one.
Lots of dust.

 

[chevymaher]

getting with it. I am looking forward to seeing you do some fishin.

Looking good young man

Thanks for the chuckle Eric!:lol:

 

[kcassells]

Started working down the component flanges. Pretty happy with the results. On another note my Black/decker belt sander started to get laughed at by the hairy pb.
Poop! Says I!
So out to hdblow to get a new belt sander. Ended up with a middle of the line ridged, 18" belt sander and some 36 grit paper.
Well hey now that bugger cut my time in half. Nice pc. Went over the 2 fish wells and the bait well.
Weather here is mid 70's Eric. Feelin your pain!
Next steps will to be secure the splash well section and then the battery access hatch. Get them set, rough out the hairy pb and come back to all with some feathering material.
