My neighbor gave me those two poly strips. They sure work good. It's a great secure place to keep my rig. Loading it up is easy but getting it back in there is a PAIN!!!!

This is a really junked up picture but all the flooring is in. (Aside from paint & bed liner)
Gas tank bracket is done.
Battery box bracket is done....
Good!!!!
Water depth makes a huge difference. You should try going from 10' of water to 6" of water in a flooded field while on plane. That scared the crud out of me! It was like hitting the...
I don't know how autocorrect got "crier" out of "other". Guess it had something to do with me crying in the yard maybe.....
Anyway here is how she sits now....
The second half should have been the exact opposite but ended up being the exact same!!! I had to weld the uprights on the crier side then cut the wrong ones off and grind smooth. Nothing like doing...
Got a little done in between rain storms today. most of my light rails are welded up. I have to tell on myself. I built a bottom rail with uprights on it first....
It rains every day now!!!!!
But on the bright side we did a little redneck experiment last night. I pulled the top of the carb and pushed the needle valve up to the closed position. My oldest...
Tapatalk. It's my crummy wifi. It constantly drops me. I posted that during a rain storm on top of that.

I don't shoot or eat many (common) carp. They are too good of catfish bait to pass up. Pictured above is a buffalo. I use the rib cage as the rest of it is full of needle sized bones. Ribs are...
I have thought of that but the blade will cause an issue and it will mess up my engine paint!

i have a few questions on your lights.
1. do you have an onboard charging system?
2. are lights ran off of cranking battery?
i will be adding lights soon myself. most texas air boats must...
outstanding work! my rig would rock a little as well when i would hammer on it. i went back and added more braceing to the engine stand and that helped a lot.
its the smallest deep cycle battery that walmart sells. its larger than the lawn mower batteries but not by much.

This is what I found. A small black mark where the tube flange attaches to the engine. I had this brilliant idea that...
Due to daily rain and other issues I'm having trouble getting my rig into the vw shop for repairs. I talked to the mechanic today who was very helpful. Assuming it has the correct jets and needle...
No poly. I used gator glide and am happy with it so far. I may do ploy in the future and am curious about performance as well.
I hated to throw away such a fat fish but it looked like infection...
I'm still losing the fight with my carb but I did but a fish in the boat. It sure would have been some good smoked ribs but it looks like a gator got hold of him. It had lots of nasty teeth marks...
After some investigation I found:
Gas leak on bowl drain plug.
Loose screws on top of carb.
Very loose connection on choke power wire.
Tab on Magnito that I tied the shut off switch to...
Rebuilt ( by me)
Solenoid in place and working.
Here is the part where I'm an idiot. I have a kill switch AND a solenoid/choke switch. It had a hard time shutting down because I would only hit...
