All I see is a boat.

the ski is still in the snow bank.


Actually, the ski is sitting right next to the boat. Step 1 is complete, boat is gutted. Next is to pressure wash all the shit out of it. Then flip it and strip the hull.

This is litteraly a ground up restoration. No more bass boat!

Just checking in to see how this is going. Don't sweet it, I have been thinking about a air boat build for on
/off ice and water and it's been a year and still thinking about it. Of course it's :duck: season so everything is on hold.

been working on it on and off. Ski is cut up, all wires and hoses labeled for reassembly. All steering brackets, reverse and choke cables removed. Fuel and oil tanks removed. Getting ready to make final cuts to the ski and cut the hole in the boat. I'll get some pics up soon.

You work slower than a government contractor.

Could be a good thing: his screw-ups will be slower to surface - or sink.

Don't forget to at least have it appear like it has that dumb safety shut-off switch and the wrist lanyard. Be careful in trashy water...the leaves...lol :clap:
I've heard that it's incredibly stupid to fuck around with a crazy man's head.
