No not the rapper!<br /><br />The shade tree special has been reserected.<br /><br />Look out....here it comes...You were fishing on a quiet fall morning and the skys grew dark, A blanket of thick fog has settled over the water....In the distance you can hear the motors raceing to flee the coming doom.<br /><br />One by one all are silenced as you listen to marine radio sending out endless maydays....<br /><br />Then all of the sudden....without warning....and with no time to react...you see it.<br /><br />A bearded fat man in hotpepper suspenders bursts out from the fog.<br /><br />DON'T WORRY....IT'S ONLY ME.<br /><br />I take that back....be afraid, be very afraid.<br /><br />I fixed the rivets with s.s.nuts, bolts and rubber gasket washers.<br /><br />It's as strong as concreate where I fixed it....but some of the rivets where I thought they were good are leaking....Not at all like it was though.<br /><br />In two hours I only had 3 or 4 cup fulls of water in the bottom of the boat....Not bad.<br /><br />I will be fixen those as soon as I get the rest of the supplies.<br /><br />Now I have another problem....I WAS useing the water in the bottom of the boat as my live well!<br /><br />I guess I'll have to shady me some in.<br /><br />Keep plenty of garlic on your boats....make sure your escape routes are well planned....keep something to cover those hull ID's up with....And for petes sake wear your PFDs.<br /><br />As a public service I will be fileing a float plan with the coast guard and US Navy and anyone foolish enough to fish those waters on the specified days is takeing the risk of being lost at sea.<br /><br />Don't say I did'nt warn ya.<br /><br />Cursewood.
<br /><br />BTW why not use some 3M 5200 sealant on the seam leaks.<br /><br />Bob
