I was a bit worried about some of my tipsy customers falling off the front of the boat into the water, so we put a pretty cool rail up front to keep everybody safe!
And then since I haven’t gotten my new cummins gauge panel in and apparently it’s lost in the mail, I built a quick gauge cluster with just the tach and the temp so I can run the boat and see what it does! For those of you who don't recognize that tach, that is one of those Aetna digital tachs! I love Aetna tachs because they give you your trolling rpm within 5 rpm, so when you find the sound the fish are looking for you can reproduce it over and over easily after hookups.
We faired out the floor today, and then put down two coats of gelcoat on the floor. All it needs now is the non slip coat which we will probably do either monday later in the day or tuesday. Monday morning we are going to building the exhaust riser, and then there isn’t much left. I”m waiting on a tranny cooler but I will borrow one if it doesn’t get here this week and we are going to see how this boat does in the water. We got the bottom painted as well, but I forgot to take pictures and we covered it with plastic so we didn’t get any compound on it while we were buffing the sides. More pics soon, hopefully in the ocean and then hopefully soon with fish in the boat!
