What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

[A-a-Ron]

Again?

I knew that was coming

 

[Fisher_dude]

Man, do you know I literally JUST realized yesterday that I'm a millennial??! I couldn't believe it, so I scoured the internet and convinced myself that I'm whats called a Xennial. I felt much better after. (Such a Millennial thing to do)

I’m in the same boat as you…..except mine has a pod.

 

[Hexxen]

New decals, rocket launchers for trolling off the rear. Ordered starke level R and elevate to start the cut polish

Out of the shop and into Elk Lake for trials - see build video below

Here is the build video:

 

[Sharphooks]

Contracted a guy to pump the water and black crud out of my fuel tanks. After buying a boat with 90 hours on her, finding all this junk in the fuel/water separators was really low on my list!




I’m hoping we got it out....maybe 2 liters of water and a lot of black crud——I’m guessing the former owner got bad gas up in ALaska

Smart move - end of problem!

 

[Sharphooks]

Of course there had to be collateral damage: fuel pickup plug in the rear of the tank galled when we backed it out of the starboard tank
(Stainless plug + aluminum tank = binding issues)

I thought I’d have to tap out some new threads but there were just enough threads remaining to tighten a new aluminum plug back into the tank with some Permatex to seal it

Anything galling is the most infuriating result on the planet. Glad it worked out.

Wow, I had mine done the same way 2 days ago. Smart PM for sure, fortunately mine was water free and they only had to polish the tank from the aluminum mild corrosion. Looks like yours was well due.

Time to paint some racing stripes. Maybe take her out to Mission.

That looks Special Forces wicked! Maybe a lightening stripe and death head?

P40’s had the big shark teeth

I’m thinking more along the lines of a salmon shark.

Changed the bearings and took the brake assembly off.. that's some stopping power

Not bad. You still had 20%. Just don't follow too close.

 

[Doubleheader]

Picked her up from a farm, original 1973 roadrunner trailered like a dream. Cleaned out the inside, 5 life jackets, 17 trout rods, 3
8# cannonballs, one Scotty lake rigger and 27 cassette tapes.

Added a Bimini off the back of the hardtop to cover the back facing seats when fishing in the rain or mist, trying to compensate for Grady’s oversight on not making the factory hardtop long enough. Grady designers must think owners are fair weather fisherman only. Should give me a little more shade as well.

May I please have your boat, no questions asked?
