Scottie,

I keep forgetting to ask, Where did you get the windscreen or who made it?

How is everything else going?

...Jim

I had it made- a local company called RBI designed and built it for me, in my opinion it makes the boat- or at least updates it a little bit. As far as my boat is concerned- I haven't even looked at it for a month, and I really don't have a good excuse.
My motivation is at a all time low:mad:

If you don't mind me asking what did it cost you? It's fiberglass right?

No Motivation! Is the boat running OK? Must be almost winter time up there! :lolhit:

I am already preparing myself for having to wear my snowmobile suit when I sea trial mine!

I don't remember exactly- I do remember thinking it was expensive, but everything on the boat has been that way:eek: Also its made out of Aluminum- not fiberglass. I want to say somewhere around $2500 with paint.

The boat runs wicked- thats not the problem. The problem is all the stupid little $hit you have to do to make it right. The main headache is the leaking from the transom- I have to pull both engines back out to reseal the exhaust donut in the transoms, and I am not too excited about it. I did however get the rear hatch pad done, I will shoot some photos and post them because it turned out really good. I have to give my mom a lot of credit- because she is the one who did it!!:coolcowboy:

Didn't happen- turns out my partner did not want a partner. So I just have my old Scarab. Looking at the world right now, I am beginning to think thats not a bad thing:eek:

I've had both of my engines out a couple times each since I finished my project...You can get pretty good at it with practice:coolcowboy:

Is the market getting better on older boats yet? Lately looking at all the usual places things seem to be starting to sell again- or is it just wishful thinking on my part?
