Welcome, Parrot Head -- where's your home port?

Mother Mother Ocean

You've seen it all . . .

[Parrot_Head]

[Gator_Bait]

[msbhammer]

Welcome to the site. great Pics. ;D

[phatdaddy]

I think everybody is a gator this year, I went to USF, so i gotta back my bulls. good luck with the rebuild. If ya wanna move up to a v-20 there was one with a ling tower in the for sale section that was located in pcola.

[Parrot_Head]

Already looked at it. Its in Gulf Breeze. Not worth the money if you ask me. Has a soft spot in the front left. Although it has a nice tower.

Welcome aboard Parrot_head.

I'm a Duke basketball fan myself, even though this is a bad year for them. I don't claim any real favorite in football, just anybody in the ACC.

[msbhammer]

Go Eagles. :P

[Parrot_Head]

How many has Duke lost ?? 4 in a row ?? That is a tremendous run though. Its gotta end sometime. ;D ;D ;D

[Kajun]

scott.....hows the foam in there? wet? dry? what made ya cut out that forward section?

[reelapeelin]

Welcome to the madness around here, Parrot Head...didja go up in size on the tank or keep it like factory?...what motor you got?...curious bastid, huh?... ;D ...

[Parrot_Head]

The whole front of the boat was rotted. The previous owner tried to make some changes and didnt seal it right. As we cut for the fuel tank we noticed how much wood was bad. So we started cutting. We got it all now. :D Once i get my new fuel tank it should go pretty quickly. I hope *:P The boat has a 150 Mariner. No problems there. Yet !!!!! We are going up 10 gallons on the fuel tank to give me some more wiggle room. Cut some of the foam out to adjust for the size change. All the foam looked good. The only thing rotted was the dang wood. A guy named Mark Fuqua is welding my new tank. He is Coast Guard approved and he tests his tanks to 4 psi, i think thats what he said.
