<br /><br />I hope to do some more on it next weekend.<br />The only thing that I'll be able to do for it this weekend is weld up the steering brackets for the motor, and maybe work out the steering wheel and cables....
Last I saw of it, I still had no stringers or top. Did you get those put on in the meantime? Or are you just doing things Quentin Tarantino style? Back to front.
<br /><br /><br />Dave its looking good... those look like real frames... did you forget about the template stage? <br /><br />I accomplished creating floor space in the garage. (cant call it cleaning cause its still a mess) And building a motor stand in aticipation of arriving motors. (Its good to dream right?)<br />What a pitiful lineup.<br />
I get a lot of my projects done that way too when things get busy. Don't sweat the responsibilities Lark, you've got all Summer to do that stuff! <br /><br />Nice Dave, what kind of wood is all that?<br /><br />Wimper, A motor stand sure helps, I made three individuals, I like the idea of one big one for a storage stand but maybe you need one more single motor stand for test running motors. Is the one on the left for your electric air boat?lol... yea that one will be made of balsa and remote controlled cause that motor wouldnt push anything else
I considered making the stands individual per motor but I figure in the limited space I have to work with and all the other crap in there I needed one storage stand.<br /> I'll probably find a 55 gallon barrel and just make a test tank that I can attach whatever individual motor to and store it outside to save room.
<br /><br />Hey just for fun check out this 1969 ski boat. Still cool! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Styl...ewItemQQcategoryZ31270QQitemZ4587384232QQrdZ1
And we're smarter and better looking <br /><br />Those two old motors I showed back a while came from my grandfather who toyed with outboards as a hobby. Spoken history tells of him always having a rack of outboards in need of repair or tune up. Apparrently he got em for next to nothing and fixed them up for a little profit and fun. That side of the family were great fishermen too.
<br /><br />I've got a few good watches going right now so we'll see...
But i'm sure by the time my 11th came around I could be talkedinto selling one ore two.
