New Project

Lee, he is getting there. He told me to stay home until he got the new flooring in because of construction. But I will be going up soon to put lighting on the garage and sheds. I have an appointment Monday to check out a lighting job here, hopefully it will be smaller than the last. We'll see.

I have a bench style in my boat, so no go for a suspension seat. I will be a bit jealous there.

suspension seats are really nice.

Nice little rig there Lee. I see a few of those around here and my buddy has the 23 footer. You will find that it will be a drean trolling with the 4 stroke and wont even use the kicker. I know I don't anymore as my 90 does not burn much fuel, is quieter than kicker, better turning control plus those small 4 strokes are good for thousands of hours. One guy I know has 4500 hours on a 50. I put hydraulic on my boat two years ago and wish I installed it from the start ....................... night and day difference compared to teleflex !!

Ahoy:

That's cool. Hope I get to see you when I'm up.

I removed the VOR pump, cut the wires and put in a non VRO fuel pump. Heading to Klamath Lake for a "3 hour tour" (test run). Will post photos when/if I get back....

The motor runs rough and does not come up to RPM under load, 3 hour tour was 29 min.

The weather did not start getting rough and the tiny ship was not tossed.

Ha, Lee, I laughed out loud at that one.

Keta · June 28, 2020, 02:40:32 PM

I am thinking of naming her the Sea Sparrow, Ouzel or Minnow....wife says none of the above. I like Sea Sparrow. I gave
a month to come up with a name then it will be Sea Sparrow.

RowdyW · June 28, 2020, 03:32:43 PM

Don't call it the minnow, remember what happened to the Captain & Gilligan.

Hmmm, $ea $parrow

"The Skipper brave and sure..."
Nice area Chiloquin, some of the local people---not so much. I worked 13 miles North at the Fort Creek farm for a year while living down in the ' Falls.
I like "Ouzel". Maybe your wife(without saying it to you) wants you to name it after her or your daughter. When I registered my personal locater beacon with NOAA, they wanted a vessel name: She gave me "Ting-ting" which I wrote in permanent marker. Now that I think about it, it kinda sounds like a nick-name and it's way faded-out so I godda re-do it.
Lookin forward to more of this saga Lee.

Dominick · June 28, 2020, 04:40:05 PM

Gfish has it down. What is your wife's name? Maybe you can incorporate it with Ouzel like Ouzel Marie. Dominick

Keta · June 28, 2020, 04:41:12 PM

I do not think she would like the boat to be named the Fataz....
