Hard work pays off brother, that's what I keep telling myself. LOL

 

[Pweisbrod]

First: wow.

Second: that Yamaha makes that thing look mighty tough.

Third: awweeeeedome job Dave.

 

[Country Dave]

Hey thanks brother, much appreciated.

Was just looking at the pic of the boat on trailer behind the truck…sweet…

I am doing guide ons right now out of galv pipe mounted on flange, I was going to drop a pvc section over it and thought about running lights, too…

I see that you ran a bolt thru the pvc section into your upright steel post?

I was wondering if the pvc should freely turn or should be bolted into place?

I guess from looking at your pic, that bolted in place is the way to go?

Really admire your work.

Hey Thanks brother,

I know some guys don't through bolt them because they want them to free spool. I guess it makes sense so if you bump them when the boats going back on it just kind of roles and doesn't mark up the side of the boat. I'm ok with them being locked down. I don't want it moving with the lights on it.

 

[Badbagger]

I'm with you Dave, mine are locked down. Since your other thread on HP is locked, read thru it many times. I'm in agreement with you Dave and I'll leave it at that. Some very pompous folks lol. My boat is rated for a 140, I wouldn't have a problem putting a 150 on it if I felt I need it over even a bit more. Everyone has their own opinions lol. Now I wouldn't go hanging a 300 on it lol. Hell,it is plenty fast for me at 50+ with the 115 I've got and a 150 whoooaaa :mrgreen:

 

[Country Dave]

Hey its all good brother,

It served it purpose I hope everyone who read through it learned something, I know I did. Just kind of ticks me off when people are hypercritical hypocrites if you know what I mean. :LOL2: I think sometimes people just want to emote. Common sense is not always so common.

Funny things is there not bad guys, I guess they just need to feel like there right all the time. Heck even a broken clock is right twice a day......... :LOL2: I don't want to continues this other than to say its "My opinion you could probably go up 10/15 percent in HP without any reason for concern. Ok that's it let talk about were the fish are................. :mrgreen:

That's what I'm talkin about! California style...

 

[Country Dave]

Smackdaddy know what I'm talking about....................... :mrgreen:

I hate the time change, ok trying not to hate :LOL2: I strongly dislike the time change,
By the time I get out of the office I’m driving home its dark. The only thing that was left to do on the trailers was to add a safety chain to the bow eye incase the winch strap breaks, that’s done. This weekend I will install the DP trim plate for the rear floor section.

Weather permitting I will take her out and run her a little more, change the oil in the Yamaha and start prepping the floor for Rhino liner. I might do something a little deferent not sure, I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

 

[hudflat]

hey Stud :roll: .. i mean Dave, I strongly recommend you not doing the spray rhino liner on your floor it gets really hot. I did the same thing on my alumnium floor and I also painted off -white still was really hot on the bare feet, spend the money on the seadek you know youll like it!

 

[bigwave]

Hey Hud, you fishing KOB? Looking sporty at best.......we are going to run way north.
