    Not in the drag race portion. He gets airlifted out after crashing in a hill climb event later on. I saw a follow-up show where he said that he escaped with a broken leg. Lucky, lucky.

    Some good stuff happening

    I actually did get started on the Chieftain project again and we're making good progress there! Right now it's at an aluminum fabricator getting knee braces made. :D So we had a little more garage time this morning. It was a real mess after all the stuff we've been doing this month. It's...

    I forgot to put up the pic of the Chief at the fabricator's place. He has 40 acres. Nice. :)

    I just dropped the Chief off with the aluminum fabricator guy! He'll call me once the new knee braces are done. :D

    Transom adaptor from 15" to 20"?

    I remember those mini-jacks. I think they're only rated to 35HP.

    It's a trailered boat. I'll be paying a guy to spray it for me. The same fella who did the dustless sandblasting. I did a photo edit a little while ago and didn't really like the gray. Moving on... probably back to white. :cool:

    Okay guys, talk to me about paint! Getting that done next month is a real possibility. :p The first option I've been told about is acrylic enamel. Good stuff for our aluminum boats? And I know I've been planning on white, but seeing the Chief stripped makes it look like a destroyer or...

    Yeah, it was a good truck. I sold it last year after I got the Santa Cruz. The young deputy who bought it lived 300 miles away and paid my full asking price. Nice guy. He deserved a nice truck. :)

    We hooked up the Chief and headed to the car wash this afternoon. Stopped to get a coffee for me and a snack for the boy on the way. So while the boy was inside getting the goodies, I snapped a quick pic, natch! 🤪 We followed my buddy's advice and used the heavy duty vacuum at the car...

    I went out to "have a look" at the Chief this morning and suddenly found myself working. And with great success! :cool: I guess the 6 months of physical therapy I had is paying off! :D Seriously, I was just going to look. Maybe figure out options on how to get that 90HP center section out...

    I found a different way! Surprised the heck out of me this morning. 🤪 I'm not sure if I'll have a custom under-deck fuel tank fabricated. I have a contact who should be able to fab up the extra transom braces for me. I'll talk with him about the fuel tank option. :)

    This afternoon I used my trucklet to pick up a single sheet of 4' x 8' BCX plywood . It was easy peasy to get the sheet in and out of the bed of the little truck. :cool: The purpose of the single sheet is to safely let us walk around inside the hull while working. Later on, it'll...

    We got the Chief back in the barn this evening. Man, is it dirty! 😏

    We got 2 of our non-boat projects fully completed last week. Finished up the second one yesterday afternoon. Yay! :cool: This morning I went out and moved the Chieftain up closer to the garage, then pulled the masking tape. That boat has a ton of sand in and on it from the dustless...
