[QUOTE="Tumbleweed74, post: 485710, member: 31411"] Leak test update: So this weekend involved finishing up the transom, which is done, and wiring the tow vehicle, a 2103 Kia Soul. The boat was sitting in the sun by Sat afternoon, and the car wiring was done by 6:30 PM that evening. Test tow proved to be no problem, but I discovered that the trailer wiring was faulty. I planned ahead by buying a new led light kit so that was accomplished today. After a break I noticed that one of the tires would not hold air. So I swapped it for the spare and will take it somewhere tomorrow to get fixed. Sadly, it has rained all day here so no leak test. The best laid plans.... My point in relating all this is that these projects always seem to take longer than we think, and there is always something more that is needed. I'm hoping that the leak test doesn't reveal something I missed. (Yes, the plug is already in the boat.) Anyway, it's been a fun project. This boat may be sold after I decide between the Eldo-Craft and the Rich-Line. Planning to take both fishing for about 4 hours to do sea trials. Stay tuned. [/QUOTE]
