Re: 1982 Sylvan Bassboat project
Hey, thanks for the bump! I apologize for being a bad iboater lately, well since Thanksgiving :facepalm:
We hit a huge lull period this fall as my work life suddenly started cutting into my personal time life. Well, that and I spent most of the rest of my free time hunting the great american whitetail or should I say watching the great american whitetail not come around when I wanted them to. :lol: We had a wonderful Christmas and New Years and spent a good amount of time with the family. We got the boys a new Golden Retriever puppy for Christmas, well ok it was really for me because I missed Bear so much and couldn't take it any longer. :facepalm: Oh, and we also just recently made an offer and had it accepted on a new house. This is more to keep the admiral happy but I'll get a good man cave out of the deal so no complaints here. We'll be moving in June due to the admiral being a teacher and it would be suicide if I asked her to move any sooner than when school gets out. :embarassed:
So, with the pending move, we now have a hard deadline to be trailerable again. I'm hoping to be pretty darn close to splashed by then as well but we'll see. I have spent the past couple of weeks digging the boat project back out from under the clutter that magically accumulated when the work slowed to a halt. We have also started cleaning and painting the trailer parts. I figure we'll get that back together and ready before we hit the boat hard again. I've also gotten back to Troops plan of do something on the project everyday no matter how little. This has really helped get it moving again.
I'll post up picks of the progress and new pup (his names Buddy) later tonight. Work won't let me get to photobucket. I have a 3 day weekend this weekend and I'm really hoping to make some major progress on the trailer this weekend.
catch y'all later,
