Got a lot done in 19 day's

[GREYWOLF]

Despite being down with divarticulates for 2 weeks and a bout with a nasty uper respitory infection, I made some real progress on the V .

1) bought a 10' x 20' tent from a neighbor who bought it new in MAY for her daughters graduuation, she paid $219 for it , I got it for $65

2) got the full camper top re-fitted and mounted with all new zippers and hardware



3) removed the old rusted and loose 1/4" bow eye, replaced it with a much larger 1/2" S.S. one . I had to epoxy the old holes and put 6 layers of glass and mat down first, then made a 1.5" thick V block and glassed that in. then a 3/8" aluminum backing plate . Then bolted it all in . ( real solid now )




4) removed & replaced the old gas tank sending unit, installed new wireing and drained the old gas from last fall. I figured the gas wasnt realy bad because I treated it good in DEC. so I used my 1200 GPH fuel pump and put it in my truck. ( waste not want not )




5) mounted my aux. motor mount to the transom , useing 1/4" aluminum diamond plate both sides (solid)


6) removed all the old decals and buffed out the boat and waxed her ( hardest job yet) She came out looking real shiney. ( new decals go on this weekend)



7) last I removed all the old caulk under the rub rail ( what a mess ) I was going to replace the rail , but not much time left OH and yea not enough $ either , will do that during the winter storage , Any way I must be watching to much TV , because insted of useing 5200 , I grabed a can of FLEX SEAL (handy man in a can) you all know this stuff pushed on late nite TV . Well to my surprice this $hit realy works well. and not as hard to clean up as 5200 , but it will sufice till I replace the rail






Well I think thats it for now, I have some realy cool graphix coming for the name on the side of the boat will post them once installed
