Good going there willy!! As CB said I have a leak some place also?? I have filled theboat with water and nothing leaks any were?? I guess I have a b it more looking to go! I have only one thing below the water line, thats the transducer on bottom, CB and i put that in a few years ago, but see no water leaking around it when i filled the boat?? O ya I also have a fw bolts holding the bracket on also, but i have never heard any water in there either?
Well Kenny, CB, me and my son hitting the water in the morning!! we should have a great day!! Congrats on a great job!

FishBones is getting better and better Willy.
 Now lets get something done about that bottom paint.  When i put the 18 Fisherman in the water the bilge filled with water fast, and having no pumps or batteries on board (i just hung a motor on it for weight purposes to see how she sat in the water) i had to get her on the trailer fast. Luckily i dunked the trailer all the way and just floated her off and never pulled out. I thought the plug fell out! Nope. Broken thru hull. I firmly believe those plastic thru-hull fittings should be outlawed. When i rebuild my V she is getting stainless all around.

Thanks for the post Willy. FB looks great.
On Monday, I'm gonna be chasing down those same hoses in my Hydra to check for rot. Jason, I hear ya about the bottom paint. They look so much better without it. I've been working on mine for a couple of weeks now. I'll post some pics when I get a moment.

Thanks Jason, I will be trailering FishBones so the bottom paint is not a priority.
I decided to wait until this off season then I will do a full bottom job on her. Money is flowing a little to quick. All the thru hulls on her are good quality stainless and in good shape.

Willy my friend, you are so very correct on fixing the hose issue. I cannot help but wonder how many boats have sunk for exactly the same reason. i did the same thing when I had my deck off earlier this year. every single hose, gas, water, oil ...has been replaced... the peace of mind was worth every dollar I spent. Fishbones looks awesome!!! Well done!!

Well you better get some red paint and stencils and write "DONT PANIC" on the bottom so that if you capsize next to Lumber you dont give him a heart attack when he sees the bottom of your boat that close.

Ken will be too busy my friend, I am going to do to him what Walter Mathau did to Jack Lemmon's car in Grumpy Old Men.
