    Is this repairable for safe use on the lake?

    My neighbor had the same thing happen to his 16' jon boat. Not nearly as severe as yours, but very close. He used a variety of tools and whanged it back to general shape. Then, he cut the worst part of the upper rail out and welded in new. No leaks. It's all functional now, but "ain't...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

After he crawled under the dash he said "Oh yeah, there was a switch which wasn't connected to anything." So he had...

    I do indeed. And when it's raining, it's like being inside a snare drum in a rock n roll band. LOUD! We've tried it in the past and even though we wore ear muffs, it was too deafening to stay in there. 🔊📢 Here's a 15 second video from when I was in there the other day and it started raining...

    This is what I mean by storm training. It's moving west to east at a slow pace and just pulses. Storm a bit, clear a bit, then repeat. For hours. All day. Makes it tough to get anything done. :cautious:

    Aug 16 First gauge being wired up and installed! Temp gauge, so I need to trace the wire back to the engine to make sure that all is well. Aug 17 Tilt gauge being installed, with jumpers between gauges for B+ and ground. I have to trace the sender wire back to the engine. I remember seeing...

    Time for an update, several actually, now that I have some time and the pix are working again. If it isn't the heat, it's the rain that clobbers my efforts. But, I have in fact, been making slow but steady progress. Aug 3rd Console painted; mocked up with gauges and steering system removed...

    Is A I a totally unreliable function ?

    Star Trek, the original series, had a similar episode about an out of control computer running the Enterprise. M-5 was in "The Ultimate Computer" episode in March 1968, a few weeks before 2001: A Space Odyssey was released. I was fortunate enough to see 2001: A Space Odyssey at the Uptown...

    Who said they weren't? I'm putting a full set into my boat right now. 🤷‍♂️
