No, I thought of the "clamp" connectors that you put the two wires thru and crimp it down to make contact, but I just cant see them lasting very long or not getting corroded up. I took the extra time to try and do it right. Dave

Excellent read...thank you! Dave

Roy, I didn't take a pic, but I stripped off the sheathing and wrapped the LED wires around the bare pos and neg wires. I soldered them and then heat shrunk them. It looks like it should be a good, solid connection for quite awhile. It took quite a bit of the day to get it done......i'm glad I...

Last few days have been just tightening this, rerouting that, adjusting this, touching up that! I did add the stainless hinges to the storage doors and I also installed the interior lights. This took quite a while to "daisy chain" 10 LED strips around this underside of the gunwales. I pulled...

Thanks Troy...they are fun to tinker with. I don't ride anymore......I am more of a "test pilot" after the restoration to make sure that everything was put together correctly and tightened down. Dave

Steve...thanks! I am trying to keep things moving along for those with short attention spans. Dave

Thanks Shawn! It seems that every project requires a little blood and sweat to complete! Dave

Today......more progress! Installed the brace poles for the bow and added the fire extinguisher. I then started routing wires and the steering cables to neaten up the interior. The boat was made really well and I was happy to find these nice "hangers" underneath the gunwale to keep...

I would like in too! Dave

Ok....back to it. Not huge progress......but plenty. My neighbor called and told me was going to be out of town for the next two and a half months and couldn't do the welding. I told him I understood and asked if he could recommend anyone. He thought for a minute and said...."can you be here in...

Ok......I got Waaaayyyyy off track the past two days. I am still waiting on some welding work but there is plenty of other things I could be doing. I went into the shop (which is shrinking by the project) and started to put the battery tender on a motorcycle project I have been working on for...

Thanks Ed! Dave

Ed, I would like to see a pic of these so I can have a better understanding of what you have described. Dave

Thanks Ed. This mighty duck machine will be powered by a Johnson 40hp outboard with power trim. It runs great and is getting all new seals for the lower unit and the power trim cylinder. I want it to be ready to go and I figured it was a great time to have it redone while I was getting the...

Well, the rain never showed up as they said it would and I didn't waste any time waiting for it. I was up early and started putting the flooring in (nothing attached, just getting fit and measurements for the final aft boards). Started cutting the aft two side boards and aft doors and put...

Making good progress! Do I see a couple of jugs of expanding foam in the boat? Dave

Paul, the boat has A TON of room, it's like a dance floor. Today I got up early and cut out the next section of flooring which consisted of two sides and two center doors. They were all put on saw horses and covered in sealer and left to dry. I then made a road trip to the MVA with my youngest...

Alright...beautiful weather and a couple of hours after work to play with the boat. Today I finished the first cargo door for the bow. Hinges aren't on yet (that will be last since I need to get spacing just right after adding carpet). The battery is just up there to make sure my connections...

Dang Mark...do you think that's a citation fish? You mounting that? Sure beats hanging out in the house Dave

Excellent! So many great tips in there, I love the paper roll idea. Dave
