Ok well after several trial fittings and making all the brackets :rolleyes: the right fuel has found a home!!! LOL Geeze what a biatch!  Sender and gauge tested out good and all the electrical checked out as well this morning. Off to install the left tank now,,hopefully it will go faster than the first.

Also heard a comment about CJ and a cap???? Whats the status on him and his boat?

Hell it never really came up if any at all! The people that control the Brazos have contracts to sell water to the rice farmers way down south,and there hasnt been any good rains to speak of in the last few years,so until it floods it will most likely stay the same level or lower.

Another daily update!!!  Spent 2.5 hrs chippin away at the spray foam up in the bow just to get the wires up to the bow light!!! Had to take a 9 ft piece of inch and a half pvc pipe sharpened on the end and make a tunnel thru the foam up to where the light is mounted now,,damn it took forever seems like. Well once we figured out the pvc was right under the light i took a smaller piece of steel 1/2 in. conduit stuck it in the hole and then with the air blower i blew some light string up the pipe till i could see it below the light,,used a small wire hook pulled the string out and tied the wires to it and pulled them back thru. Talk about lucky,,i doubt that would ever go over smoothly again lol!

All diverter hyd. lines came in yesterday as did the little bit of chrome stuff i had done,,and the chrome stuff that Airline plating did came out really good! bling.gif

So im off to get the lines put on then mount the hyd pump and call that good!

One bite at a time and the elephant is getting smaller! jump.gif
