Thanks. Slow going...Got a coat of paint on the helm, but not happy with it. I also discovered a few more holes needed, and switched the splash cover I planned on using wich required a larger hole. So I have a few more holes punched in it, and it's prepped and ready for another coat of paint. Crossing my fingers I'll get it painted today so I can work on it tomorrow...

A little progress, not as much as I'd like. Got a few things mounted, gauges in, ran the shift cables. The hole on the SB side will get a PontoonStuff 8 switch panel that I'm modifying, the hole on the Port side will hold the GPS, and 2-12v outlets below.

Warm weather yesterday through Thursday here. If I can get the 3' drift in front of the shop plowed out MAYBE I can get it out and get the motors mounted. Another busy weekend coming so I'm not holding my breath...

Awesome Ty, I can't wait till you splash this thing! I'm curious about the mph, I think somewhere between 55 and 65mph

I'm guessing the same. I really doubt I'll spend the time and money to squeeze every last MPH out of it. That could take all summer long...wait, maybe not such a bad idea :biggrin2

I know I know :oops:

I'm doing a little here and there, but I'm playing the waiting game...waiting on some unusual parts and waiting on SPRING :censored . I need to move this boat soon! Need to get it to the other shop and get the motors mounted so I can really run with it.

In addition to that, been SUPER busy at work, and I picked up another hobby...Micro Pigs. Yep, I'm a bona-fied farmer now :lol3 Just on a much smaller scale :rofl

Still waiting on parts :coffee Seems like just when you get one unusual part in you think of another you need to complete the job :x

I've still been tinkering, running wire wire and more wire. Not much time to devote to it the last few weeks, and not much to look at. I'll be home for almost the entire weekend, maybe even TWO weekends, so look for some pics of progress SOON :nana

Had a little warm weather, and some rain. Enough to melt most of the 4' drift in front of the shop. Soooo I play weather man, pick (what I thought) were the best 2 days to pull it out and take it in for some touch up welding. And I wake up to this........................................

If the sun doesn't come out enough to dry the roads today it sits at the weld shop till Monday and I loose all week end to work on it. No cover on it, no way I'm pulling it around in this crap. I'm so over this winter I can't even function any more :x

I got all excited when I saw a new post from you in here. I understand your pain though. I keep thinking that it’s going to be an amazing summer with as bad as this winter has been.
