not having to deal with it. access to more of the chain easily

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

just purchased a set of anodes and some stuff to fill screw holes in the transom. it looks like the transducer got moved and no one did anything with the holes except squirt some non marine silicone on the top of it

you don't have to deal with any of it though, the boat clears the bridge perfectly fine with all of the canvas up, folded back, any which way, by a solid 8-10 inches when the water was the highest last year.

 

[Yaj Yak]

of course go wherever you please i just wanted you to know that though in case i hadn't told you.

USGS Current Conditions for USGS 05548000 NIPPERSINK LAKE AT FOX LAKE, IL

it looks like the gauge was close to 5' at the bridge around when i had it... and it cleared it then.

These are the readings needed to move the system to "No Wake" and "Closed" across all gauges

I'm totally unfamiliar with it. just the sides look like shit, underside is actually black and a couple blue squares where it was obviously blocked up in the past. suggestions on brands?

We used interlux brand one of the cheaper ones, I'm sure they make a bunch now, you just need to get the hull clean and lightly roughed up for the paint to hold up well, you can also just do the waterline if the bottom looks fine, a gallon should do the whole bottom

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I really just want to do the sides for appearance purposes. water is off at the marina and I don't have 300' of hose to get to a spigot

A little cleaning and maintenance and this boat is going to be a nice ballin on a budget weekend chain boat. I am excited for you and can't wait to go out on it.

Most of the "big" boats on the Chain are docked South of the 12 bridge. They have the entire length of the river to go down. I feel the only bridge that might give you trouble is the 173 bridge.

i dont think the 173 bridge is possible, sure as shit not possible with the canvas up at all, i dont think it will clear though. the flag on the front (if it's still there?) was the height of the windshield iirc so if that hit, back out.

and of course won't make the grass lake rd bridge on the long channel between spring lake and bluff lake

Offshore Drilling 2: The Search for More Drilling

No even a like for this? The fuck.

 

[Yaj Yak]

it's a lot of words to put on the back of the boat

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

My Wednesday night class got cancelled, I think I may head up and work on the boat after sitting in two hours of traffic.

 

[Outlaw]

I think you should just call it the "Summer Hummer" and be done with it.

Awesome weekend getaway cruiser, I is jealous!

Sand the scum line off and roll it lol, it will stick for at least a season

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I'll find a way to get a power washer there. the guys at the marina were using one over the weekend on 200'+ of hose coming out of their shop. I could probably slip them a 20 and borrow it for an hour.

Also like "Offshore Drilling II"

 

[DJ]

Yeah I can get that for you cheap and fast. PM some details like colors and font style. I will get a mock up to you.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I'll shoot you a PM tonight. I've got a file from the old name I had made, just needing some colors changed

I need a boat graphic made up also. But I am not creative in reguards to font and style. I will get some sizing and PM you also.

Solid black. Times New Roman. Stock lettering is best. Stock lettering is fastest.

 

[Mook]

Raised lettering, pale nimbus. Or perhaps bone. And the lettering in something called Silian Grail. Dont forget the watermark.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Bottom paint purchased. I think this is going to be a good bang for the buck appearance upgrade.

running gear work is getting done either today or tomorrow, mechanic is supposed to call me when he's done. I've got to find out what all was changed fluid wise on the boat from him also. I don't know if oil or drive lube were done when it was winterized.

 

[Yaj Yak]

sorry

prop should be here by end of week.
