I hate gewbers with multiple carports. Looks like your rig is coming along nicely
You would love me then. Birds are pooin on my new ride.
Yeah but no carpet, just hose off.
I'm getting a fire lit under me now. It's one thing to let Flinger and Kdavid show me up in the bot rigging department, but its another thing all together to let Feelay whip me.
Progress...of sorts. Had a plan and worked it this weekend. I think that was my first mistake...having a plan. Decide I'd best check the water in the batteries. Well the boy I bought it from ha moved the batteries to the forward compartment and had mounted the forward 2 batteries past the leading edge of the compartment making it impossible to check the water levels and even harder to refill. No problem I thought, I'll just reposition them back a few inches. Well. That required modification to the battery box since the first battery now had to reside past the trailing lip of the box plus I had to rotate it 180 so I could then access it's maintenance ports, which then required extending the cables some 5". Got that done and then moved the remaining two batts back about 4.5" and rotated one of them 180. Again with the extensions. Anyway...3.5 hours later it turns out they didn't need any water.
Btw, group 31s are extry extry heavy.

Think I set some sort of moochin' record on this one. Got free labor plus lunch delivered today at lunch. All while I stood around munchin' on the free grub and directed the snaking of my power bubble lines to the front. Can't beat that with a stick.

In this one, MT is working so hard and fast, he blured out he pic. Think he was in a hurry cause if he took any longer, I was gonna make him buy me Supper too.

Got a new jack to put on too. It's a harbor freight dual wheel 1500 lb model. Bad cheap at $30, but it's a chunk to hold. Old was was bent up and would work you to death. This one might be a POS too, but dang, the nice ones started at $100 and went all the way into the $180s.

Heard it was to small
Sorry WB but i just a dum truck driver no supervisor if i did take the job i would have to fire your current help and hire me some gooduns. MT would be fired for just wearing that hat, and Andy well we really don't have all night for the reasons of him being fired

Wired in my power bubbles at lunch today. Set it up to bypass my master switch so I don't have to power the entire boat in order to run the power bubbles while trailering. Led light to indicate on will be nice. Also put in a 5 amp inline fuse on it and labeled the fuse. Good idea to label your wires and fuses because it can get dang complicated to figure out when you are hanging upside down with a flashlight in your teeth 26 months after you've installed or fixed something.

Ain't nothing like punching a 4" hole in fiberglass to help your lunch settle.

No problems Maj. Had to mod the keeper bracket slightly but I've got another 2" on the back side of the wall to work with.

Just a shake out trip. Didn't put the boat in till 4, and only managed to fish about a half hour.......no worries, the livewells are still clean.
Wannabe...
you done with boat already? If so I take back everything I said that was bad before:)
Glad to see you got it and got on the water.
WB, you make me sick. Already on the water and I haven't been able to spend enough time in Arkansas to even get a good start on mine. Guess I'll just have to go with you. LOL. WTG man. Looking good.:cheers2
:donoSo how does it run and handle?
wannabe.... boat looks great. you will love the opimax. i had one myself! looks like grenada came up some... me and a friend will be down wednesday, thursday, friday... not to fish though, but to run around up in the rivers to take a peek!
Glad you got the boat put together and on the water to shake out all the cobwebs. The water looks like it does up here chocolate milk.
Yeah sure, I would love to go out on the boat with you. THANKS! You still a gewber
