You could always put up...

:usa2:

Yah, that'd be way better!



I'm here to "help"

:stupid::flypig::deadhorse:

Some how I missed this post, as much as I like my American StarCraft Buddies, the only flag flying on my Flag pole will be one of these.:canada:

Batteries, no problem I have a guy for that and a spot right under the casting deck already picked out.

The founders were actually pretty smart, they let the French and the Brits battle it out for the land that has a 3 month boating season.

Yea Jim, us Kanucks don't need a think tank to install some stinkin old batteries

Let us be our own State!!!:facepalm: Jason , I'm hoping to get the motor in this weekend, weather permitting. The cherry picker I have will not reach high enough, so it will have to go back the same way it came out with the big picker.

What do ya mean 64, with an aluminum tinny we can get 5 months, one early and one late in the season. We all know the bow on a tinny will break moderately thick ice without damage, unlike one of them itchy boats. :lol:

My boating season is 12 months a year ...
You guy's are lucky you get the hard water .... gives you a chance to work on them.
BC nearly joined the states back in the day.... Ottawa offered a better deal so they went with that.
Million bucks (they were broke and in debt) and a train track to Vancouver.
Now Alaska... how the heck did you guy's get that... Probably paid some Russian off.... I'm sure.

let's see.....airboat motor and prop, a couple of skids to stabilize the deep vee, and you're all ready for the other 7 months of the year......

We call that a skidoo.....

Re: 1986 ss 201

Okay, some big progress happening. We are into full blown spring break up here so someone has some time!!
Trolling motor installed, gotta love Dollar store cutting boards.

Gonna take me about four post to show the progress.

The big girl saw some daylight today for the first time in a long time. Interior is 95% done, just have the trim over the center seam in the floor vinyl, and the trim around the opening in the dog house.

Re: 1986 ss 201

More interior

And then the big one The Merc 4.3 goes back in, 20 minutes and it was bolted in.

Re: 1986 ss 201

Last one.

I'm pretty stoked to say the least, will be working on engine alignment and outdrive install next.

Re: 1986 ss 201

Looks great Glen! I had forgotten that you had used the big picker to get the motor up and over the gunwales when you took it out. Man it has really come together nicely!

Super job!!!!

Re: 1986 ss 201

Thanks Jim, we have a serious melt going on here right now, snow must have dropped a foot today. Soft water is coming soon.

Re: 1986 ss 201

Great looking, congrats, you'll definitely be ready when the ice clears...

Good luck on alignment & outdrive, I'm sure it'll go good & quick...

Re: 1986 ss 201

Looks just fantastic, even better in the sunlight, hope you're sending some of that a little further east like about 600 miles further.

Re: 1986 ss 201

That big picker sure made it look easy. She's tired of the snow too. I saw her smiling in the warm sun. Man, one good looking rig!!!!!

Re: 1986 ss 201

What a beautiful boat! There is a TON of room in that interior. I'm assuming you left it so open for fishing room as opposed to more seating...
