I'm sure most of you are tired of my boat project pics so good news....actually got it the clunker out on the water!!! Took dad and ran around the lake, played with the graph, adjusted rod racks, and even fooled around a fished for a little while. Low numbers but good size, all in all a great couple hours. Nice feeling to see all the garage work start to pay off. Thanks to all you guys for the feedback and especially RCC and l_tedford for answering an endless array of asinine questions. Hope to have many more pics and reports in the near future
