[theyyounggun]

ummmmmm..... #-o a sail to power the boat? haha



WOOO PIG SOOIE!!! GO HOGS!!!

 

[Gators5220]

Haha nice try but no, it's for my live well, I'll take some pics of it as I install it, so you can get a better picture of what I'm doing.

 

[Gators5220]

Rain never let up today or yesterday, so I got next to nothing done, lots of supplies little progress! That's what I get for having 3 days off in a row!

 

[Gators5220]

I was able to get a little bit done bewteen showers but not much! So it's lookin like it's gonna get put off until next week!

 

[Gators5220]

Here are a few updates of some work I got done today, basically I'm putting two recurulating pumps on the side of a 5 gallon bucket as well as a b-15 bubble master on it for air. It's not a perfect deal but for my little boat, and as often as I used shrimp it'll keep the dozen or so I buy when it's cold hopping around!

 

[Gators5220]

Here are some pics of the pumps to give u an idea of how it'll flow the water through the live well, I've got a mount I'm making for it outa plywood and when I'm done I'll send pics of it and of how the water flows through it. As well as let y'all know how she works.

My paddle holders....

where did you find your paddle holder ?

 

[bigwave]

OMG you must change the bucket........it is the wrong color orange and it is missing the big T. :shock:

 

[Gators5220]

Mp the paddle holders I got off cabelas or bass pro not sure which, they work pretty sweet! Keeps things nice and organized.

And Big Wave, come on brother you know I bleed a different color orange with some blue mixed in! Haha hard to miss on my boat!

I like this design for a round baitwell. but i am curious as to why you are using 2 recirculating pumps. thanks and great looking build

 

[Gators5220]

Thanks high voltage, I have two pumps mostly because I had a coupon at Wal-Mart, and it came out I got two for the price of one, that and with two pumps I can really circulate the water to keep the shrimp kicking...I actually also have a b-15 aeroator that I'm gonna put on it as well, with two air houses. All this should add up to some really skipping around shrimpies.

 

[Gators5220]

This are some photos of my electrical set up for my live well, basically I cut up an extension cord that had multi-stranded 12 gauge wire in it, shrink wrapped connections, and have some quick disconnects in bewteen the battery and pumps to make a ghetto but effective way to disconnect the pumps when I want to turn them off and on.

 

[Gators5220]

These photos show a boat cover system I bought from wal-mart I think it was like 10 bucks, you have to add the 2x4 obviously and the tarp, but I had both laying around. I'll let everyone know how it works, but mostly I'm using it to keep out leaves, the water is no big deal to me.

 

[Gators5220]

I decided to go ahead and mount my dance floor of a front casting deck, and of course it poure d today! I mounted it mostly because the old man and I are gonna wet a line in Tampa for X-mas, he and I don't get together as much so super stoaked to do it!

Also decided to post a few pictures of how she sits at the moment.

 

[Gators5220]

Sorry it wouldn't let me post the pics last night for some reason. :LOL2:

 

[Gators5220]

Decided to take the roomates dog karma out on the boat today, for a little booze cruise.

Her first time on the boat so she was a little scared at first, but she got to bark at birds, I cought a few small bass, all in all good day on the water.

 

[Gators5220]

Then on the way back I saw this crazy thing, the guy told me he gets paid (by the state) to cut hydrallia grass and stuff with it, pretty cool!

 

[bigwave]

Hey when you get here let me know I will tell you where the fish were before this last cold front.

 

[Gators5220]

I ended up not able to bring my boat, my grandmother fell so I had to go over early to the hospital. All is well just a dislocated shoulder but you know how that goes. Thank you anyway brother.
