The waterbug project continues

The chain and sprockets should be here sometime Monday.
In the meantime I've been working more on the cat hull.
I did find out that Mt will soon require a positive drain in a boat, aka bung plug. Gota put something in even if I never use it.

I have to have my buddy do the welding.

I have expanded aluminum to put over the center front to back for a walk way, and it will cover the Motor/drive deck in the back .
In the cat in the back under the mesh will be foam/ floatation .
In the front in the cats will be some kind of "step" system to get in from the front.
Under the walk way I plan a waterproof Nylon cover and floatation pack that will stop the water from getting in to the cats and prop. I'll put the 15 gal fuel tank in between the cats also kinda up front under the walk way.
Sky blasting again...

About the drain plug(s). My boat does not leak a drop but the dog drags in quite a bit of water with him and I'm pretty sure I splash some in too. Many states are getting anal about aquatic vegetation just to look cool like the other cool states. We have some nice new signs to shoot at the boat launch.
Part of the rules is you must drain the boat. They're gonna get me for the carpeted trailer bunks one day.

I've heard that it's incredibly stupid to fuck around with a crazy man's head.
