[QUOTE="sturdi87, post: 127736, member: 2691"] Ha ha thanks for the name idea, I have not settled on a name yet and will throw it in the mix, I was considering just calling it "sunk," because I keep sinking more money into it! But really it most likely would have ended up with a US flag on it somewhere regardless. Any other name suggestions? Heres another 'pile' of stuff for the project. My manual jack plate arrived the other day, it is pretty slick, and extremely light. Also note the pirate flag I got for the boat! You can see I bought a new coupler, safety chains, hardware for trailer I talked about from TSC (right at $10 for all that; Thank you TSC!) Also, the long thing laying on top of the cans of primer are alumiweld brazing rods, I have read good and bad, but think I want to give them a try for myself.
