See ya guys later.
-
Then will put the tackle and such into ye olde hole in the water, only this time instead of money I can throw in the fishing gear.
-
Chit, on that note I am outta here. I am going to wash the beast and take some pictures.
-
Hope they take credit cards, otherwise I really have to sell my truck.
-
Pucking $2800!!! Aargh.
-
Non-self bailing boat ftl.
-
I guess unless you have a Boston Whaler, you need a plug.
-
With both bilges running, and the non-existent plug out she took a good 45 minutes to drain. Holy chit that was a lot of water.
-
Quickly putted back to the launch and yanked her out.
-
No wonder she won't plane.
-
Oh, yeah about 1000 gallons of water.
-
Thought, hmmm not good. Opened the bilge up.
-
Then jumped to life, hit the powerband, and wouldn't plane the boat.
-
Floored her. She growned and spit out the stabilizer from the year before, coughing and sputtering some smoke.
-
Thought we'd try the other side of the lake.
-
Good water pressure, no problems with leaks.
-
Hopped into the drivers seat and she started right up.
-
Made about 10 casts.
-
Parked teh truck.
-
Dropped in the boat.
-
Since I have 2 500gph bilge pumps, I said fudge it lets at least fish for a half hour.
-
So when I got the ramp with my buddy to wet test the rebuild and check the gauge for leaks, I noticed the lack of plug.
-
I have one of those plugs with a T to hold it in the bilge hole
-
Took it out to wet test her
-
Gotta go back to the boat though.
