Re: cutting up deck

thanx!! its a nice boat. its a shame they didnt make an access plate. but yet the way the fish box is, i dont think you would be able to get it out anyway.<br />-<br />til i can seperate ive got a pontoon alum. 18 to 20 gal tank, i need to figure out how to mount with out putting any holes in the deck.<br />-<br />i was thinking of having a bracket made & remove the rod holder to screw it in there. <br />would rather use a portable plastic, but havent found any with atleast a 5/16 to 3/8 draw.<br />tempo is all 1/4.<br />-<br />thanx for your input it is greatly appreciated.

ATTEN - jomac<br />-<br />i pulled off one side of the transom cap, and found what looked like a pink/flesh color sealer <bondo?> in the seams.<br />is that what you encountered when you seperated the hull on the cc trophy?

Re: cutting up deck

nice web pages!!<br />yea, i think im gunna have to change the name of my boat from 2K to neversail.<br />-<br />thumb injury & shift in docs have put me to the way side. <br />-<br />still trying to get motor back together slowly.<br />got the motor bracket installed, going to try to put midsec on tomorrow.<br />then powerhead & last lower unit.<br />-<br />i think the trophy <2kboat> got mad when i was working on the t166, instead of her. <gotta have some type of excuse><br />-<br />anyway will propably scrap the T166 project & focas on the trophy.<br />im missing out on some good fishing here in SC.<br />-<br />but my home town is near ft.walton beach, and will probably move back there to be near grand daughter.<br />really want to spend time with my dad & get him out fishing.<br />-<br />
