Yep. That was it. Ive often wondered what was on that property. That's a lot of brickwork! An engineer friend of mine talked to the lady that owns that about 10-12 yrs ago. Said she had been offered 5 million for the property, and turned it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Not what I really did on the boat but what I did at my boat dock. Put flower pots on dock. Painted boat flag poles to match blues. Blue power cord, water hose with blue and boarding mat and ladder wrap. OCD kicked in but told nicest dock area in complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all wet Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I haven't run the boat for a while due to being out of town, so got back and cranked it up last week. Well, no peeing through the tell tale and temp going up. I found some bug crap in the hole and cleaned it out, but still nothing. It did flow fine when hooked up to the engines flushing attachment. So I ordered a water pump replacement kit including a new housing, watched a couple youtube videos, and changed it out today. Got a pissing motor again! Not that difficult a job and definitely saved some money. Time to get back out on the water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HewesYourDaddy Posted April 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Made a second beach trip in 2 days. Kids had a blast, wife made her once-yearly trip out with us, and ended the day with dinner on the river. And I saw FishmanJJ’s buddy in the Actioncraft!

He called me tonight and said he saw my buddy in the beautiful red / white Pathfinder hauling *** in Sunbury area. He also said he fished about 10 drops including grass island and only had one legal trout....lots of tiny trout. Did you catch any fish ? I told him that Actioncraft doesn’t want any part of that Pathfinder now with that new Suzuki..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little beach time with family and friends. As clear as the water was yesterday, I'm really surprised no one caught anything. I'm beginning to wonder if the trout have moved to the beachfront or if they've gone deep after those few cold nights we've had earlier in the week.

all wet Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I put a new Simrad NSS9 evo3 on the boat, nice and lightweight and built in GPS receiver. Cleaned up the organized the NMEA 2000 network in the console too. Now as soon as the Yamaha gateway arrives, I'll tie in the engine data to the network. It's super easy entering waypoints, and I really like the combination of touch screen and buttons/rotary wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northfl Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Woke up this morning to dunk the boat and try some topwater. Decided for some reason i better bump the motor over and nothing. Dead cranking battery. So back to sleep for a lil bit and a trip to get another one so i can go tomorrow morning. Motor wouldnt trim up so i loosened up the screw lifted it and added some oil to the trim cylinder. Probably gonna need to rebuild them in the fall. Hopefully tomorrow works out better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettN Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Changed from bench seat to tempress swivel seats. So far after one trip out I feel like I made the right choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had, I might still own it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I am assuming....yes, they are a huge difference in the ride.....on the starboard passenger side, you can really lean back and streach out. dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a flats boat, they give you a little more confidence/security when running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Seither Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I've had one set up as a bow casting seat for the last 7 years or so, moved to the mud boat, durability has been great, I think they were offered in a high back and low back versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
