Re: 1976 tri-hull project
So been a little while folks, all good news. Having my prop rebuilt as the one that has been on there is the original, and it is getting worn down paper thin, Monday that will be done. Also installed eye bolts on transom area, added a couple more l brackets to keep the top real secure to the floor, it was on there alright just moved a little and I wanted no movement at all, so now that is tight.
Also got my bimini top ordered "finally"
And I got this shuttlecraft (lil open bow boat thing you park a seadoo inside).
Picked up the little red one with the red bimini top all the way on left of pic I got it for $300, Ill get more pics of it later, who knows what I can do with this little toy.
Went back out, did more drinking than fishing, but did catch one catfish, pulled into a quiet little cove where I ran into this character who stated he had been living at this cove for a few months now, lol he also mentioned that since it was starting to get busier he will soon move. He pleaded with me not to release the catfish that he would surely eat it, so being me I obliged and gave him the catty. He then proceeded to ask if we had any alcohol (after looking @ his makeshift camp and all the empty cans, I promptly stated this is an alcohol free vesel), a little white lie*, but for the greater good in my opinion. Oh and he yelled "East Side" when we first approached his cove. Hilarious
and that aside the boat ran great which is always a plus, now its time to break out the towables and really get into the swing of things around here.
Til' the next time folks ~~~ ~~~
