    The only issue I can recall on those specific boats isn't related to the hull or transom.....but the flooring and hatch lids. Not a deal breaker 👍

    Exactly 🙄 What could they possibly see that accurately indicates what is going to happen through the entire weekend?

    Weather forecast "professionals" have nothing to sell.... but BAD WEATHER. Nobody hates on them when their drastic predictions fail to happen, but they catch hell when a bad storm happens and they DON'T predict it. So they ALWAYS predict on the heavy side.... playing it safe. Especially on a holiday weekend. Looks like just an average spring weekend in Missouri to me 🤷‍♂️

    When all the lights are on, my place is lit up like it has its own Sun, therefore every type of bug in the state loves it here. Some of the insects I see are alien creatures that can't even be identified. And we have a "porch toad" that weighs about 2lbs. 😅

    Oh how fun ! Milk it, brother 👍

    I have a brown lizard that hangs out in my shop. He was parading around the other day with a fat June bug in his mouth. He was proud and wanted everyone to see it 👍😅

    Unregistered Outlaw rig ! They'll hammer ya if you get caught while kids are aboard ! "Not setting a proper example" ya know. 🙄 I dig it nonetheless 👍

    I've been a real trooper about it until TODAY. Have been whining and being a big puss all day.....cuz I'm sick of it. I've got things that need to be done, and there's nobody else that can do it. 😔 When I think about the anatomy of my ribcage, and think about all the things I've done and the hits I've taken in the past.....It blows my mind that I haven't EVER experienced this before. This freakin' sucks !!! 🙄

    Nice 👍. Yeah I'm down around #5-7 on the left side. It has really taken the wind out of my sails today. Wasn't near as bothersome yesterday or the day before. Happened on Monday. Maybe this margarita will take the edge off....

    I YouTubed it and according to "experts" there I'll be lucky if I get relief within 6 weeks. I can still do things, within reason, without too much pain.....and experience with similar things has convinced me that it's best to keep moving and doing some stuff if possible. It's worse today than it was yesterday though.....so I either over-did it, or slept on the wrong side last night. I've put off a few tedious jobs and am only doing the easy stuff for awhile.

    Yeah I used to recover from pulled muscles and stuff in just a couple days......Now it seems to take over a week. 🙄

    That's likely. I poke around and don't feel like a rib is actually "broken". But there was an audible POP when it happened..... even those standing nearby heard it, and that made me pretty dizzy. I almost passed out 😅

    Was laying over the side of a boat and swung a battery out of the bilge area.....like I've done thousands of times..... And "POP", fractured a rib 😒 Didn't really hurt that bad, and no excruciating pain to speak of, but I have been dealing with a constant dull ache for several days😕 I'm taking a few days off to hopefully let this thing heal a bit. But I'm wondering HOW LONG it's gonna take ? Anybody ever busted a rib before?

    Now listen! Here awhile back you were ultimately concerned about a grandDAUGHTER taking you fishing....but not having a permit. You're all uptight about the GIRLS being legal, but the BOYS are just on their own ! What the hell ? 😒

    It shifts into Fwd. & Neutral just fine ..... But fails to shift into Rev. ? If so, then there is a problem with the shift linkage.....or a problem inside the gearcase.

    The "GASKETS & Diaphragm" won't keep it from starting. The needle valve, float setting, or a clogged idle jet passageway will.

    Pfft ! I wouldn't trade that Yammie 50 for 10 little Merc 4-strokes. 😅 The pics don't do it justice, that's a big, and pretty heavy jon boat. 1760

    Our area "first responders" double as weather spotters. They are trained to sound the alarm at ANYTHING. So every time a dark cloud becomes visible, the tornado sirens go off. "Better to be safe than sorry, right ?" 🙄 The problem with that is.... because they sound off all the time, nobody takes them seriously.
  19. fishinwrench
    Nope. Not yet anyway.

    I was at the local gas station once, and a lady came in saying that the nozzle wouldn't fit in the "fuel fill" of her boat. The attendant directed her to me, saying "That guy right there works on boats, ask him". I walked out there to see what the issue was......and she was trying to put the fuel nozzle into the Navigation light socket. Good thing it didn't fit !!!!
  21. fishinwrench
    Yep.
  22. fishinwrench
    Listen.... You can wish her a Merry Christmas, and you can wish her a happy birthday, but it is 100% YOUR OBLIGATION to MAKE HER have a happy anniversary ! Good luck 🤞 And just for the record, she owes YOU one too. So put on clean underwear.
  23. fishinwrench
    One can only hope 🤞

    Yeah 5k seems reasonable. There might be a duck hunter out there with deeper pockets, but considering that I want to turn it into a fishing boat.....which will cost an additional 2.5k...... I'll bounce 4k off him and forgive the 713.00 bill that I've got invested in it thus far. 👍

    When it's all you live for, and all you can ever think about ....it IS fun. 😊 Like anything else a person becomes obsessed with, it becomes a way of life.
