Boat Builder Central

Thanks All! Especially you you ole Cracker. Couldn't have done it without all that good boat building wisdom you pour out here for us. She runs good I tell ya. Just got the new intake in for my jet so I can remove the bars from that one and be able to change to wide open at the coast or barred up fo...

Made two trips out on the north guad from canyon lake.

Cracker, Looks like you've been hanging out with Bill Nye The Science Guy and Captain Ron at the same time! Don't worry... "If anything's going to happen, it's going to happen out there"

The problem I have is I put the tank in backwards and on the slope of the bow it leaves a 1/4 tank in ...

Cracker someday someody is going to write the next almanac using your thread for historical weather information in Georgia.

Enjoying watching that boat come together. I'm ready to see that swanky floor get laid up. Looking good...

Mmmmm. Yeah, sorry forgot to mention that whole sifting thing. I'll be in town this weekend. Andale, puro wet sand y lo hechamos otra vez.
