Journey Update....WOOHOO she floats(edit)

[Indymike]

Started this project last September and still moving right along. Goal is to have it in the the water in 2 weeks. Project won't be complete but it will be seaworthy. This resto stuff is a lot of hard work.I work construction so hard work is no stranger but you guys that do this for a living have got my respect! Next project will be done indoors. Biggest obstacle is getting the weather and my schedule to agree.<br /> Hull project

WOOHOO she floats! Like I stated above the jobs not done but its it very usable. Couldn't help but grin from ear to ear as we puttered thru the idle zone on the first launch. It's cool seeing 9 months of work coming to fruition. The project has nearly exceeded my expectations. Hull is very solid and handles well. I was a tad concerned about weight but I think thats behind me now. Motor runs great. Reworked the trailer as well and apparently the setup there is good also.<br />Now it's time to work on the setup for the boat/motor and get the R's up where they belong.<br />Here's a picture of me hanging on for my life.<br /><br />Plenty of time to make her pretty but summer is here and it's time to boat,fish and ski.

Good work! It's nice to be moving on to the 'Make it look good', 'Spend all day fitting the fire extinguisher exactly right' stuff.

Looking good! Trihulls are supposed to be very stable. How do you like the handling?

Re: Journey Update....WOOHOO she floats(edit)

Thanks guys.Still lots to do. Mark I like the tri-hull. It is very stable and great to fish from. It won't cut thru chop like a deep V but I spend my time in inland lakes so the rough stuff really is not an issue. Now if I can get a handle on the set up.
