Maybe we take one boat and split the gas, but yes they haven't set a date or lake yet just sounds like something fun to do.

As we were heading down the rain just got harder and harder.... Luckily it was only a two hour rain delay.

I started working on the other boards while Zach started on the screws. A great tip to come......
We used vice crips instead of a sawzall! Clip on em and turn them right out it worked great!

The worst part was the damn tar tape, that shit sucked!!! It took us over 2 hours to scrap off 5 beams..

We are ready to start laying new deck... hopefully this coming Saturday.

I did get all the old wiring taken off, the only thing left is the wiring for the engine harness. I hope to reuse the old plastic loom.

We still need to replace the transom that started sagging at the end of last year.
Not a bad day considering we thought it would end up a ran out.

My bro replaced his trailer bearings I thought his toon looked funny in the middle of the drive.

Keep up the good work you'll get done sooner or latter.

Crap, I had to shovel the snow off the ice in my driveway this morning - still too wintery to start underskinning my toon!

Went down on Saturday, since it is supposed to start raining for the next 3 days I don't want to install carpet. My goal was install new wiring harness and attach decking. My transom started sagging last year causing the steering to jam up, so I want to remove the old one and bring it home so I can cut the new one and glass it before installing. The one on there now is only 5years old but the previous owner did not glass it.

I was able to reuse all of my wire loom for the Aerator pump, Stern light, and the bow wires! I just need to put the main battery cables of the new harness into the loom still attached to the motor.

Well we got the wire all ran, the deck is on, and we at least took measurements for the transom so I can build and fiberglass it here and do a quick switch out the next trip. I was about 15 or so screws short for the deck boards.... I will see if Ty can send me some....

One trick we did was drill pilot holes in the wood, then tap in the screws and just zip them in with the electric drill. I had a three man team and this worked great! My step son usually just is a gopher, he was really excited I let him handle a drill, and a hammer on the same day!

Of course we had to dry boat once it was all screwed down. The Dog was a little ticked off we weren't going anywhere!!
We rigged my old cover to try and keep it dry. We'll see how it works.

The girls were supposed to be raking leaves I look over and the were taking a siesta.

Well I talked to Ty and I used 6 screws across instead of 5 on each crossmember. He is still going to send me some. Great customer service!

One thing I guess the deck isn't going anywhere now...

your as bad as I'm but I did it with the sealing tape, I put it on each beam because I seem my alumiun was ate up under the wood, then I seen they put the green type wood on it from the factory, it lasted but was eating my metal a little.

Glad you had a good time,and you got the deck on, I'm trying to get all the work done so I can get back to work on mine before I have to start doing the floors again.
