found some pics from about 13yrs ago of forked up on the day we bought it, date is incorrect, i just had walgreens make a cd for me from the negatives i had

went from what is above to this, then to what it is now

lightyears of difference. Great work. I can't hardly believe that's the same boat!

« **Reply #30 on:** September 10, 2007, 11:36:06 AM »

sadly there is only 21hrs of total run time on the boat since the first pics to now

i love the shagg carpet on the trailer!!!

« **Reply #32 on:** September 10, 2007, 01:39:01 PM »

that trailer met the dump 2 yrs ago, had ziemann custom build one for it

well took forked up swimming today, had to see if it remembered how to float and how many leaks it had before i got to far.

« **Reply #34 on:** September 23, 2007, 07:44:11 PM »

all in all it went pretty well, she remembered how to float and only had a very slight leak at the steering shaft, (i tried to use the old bushing, my mistake) but a minor and easy fix, just made me want to finish it faster

« **Reply #35 on:** September 23, 2007, 07:47:25 PM »

let it float for awhile and the day was a success, then the wife had to ruin it for me

, i failed to notice that during the trip to the lake the cable that keeps the boat from coming forward into the bumpers on the trailer either stretched, came loose or something but the boat was against it and had been for awhile, the entire reason this rebuild started had just come back. F*@K S@#T PISS DAMN MOTHER F***** PIECE OF CRAP, i wanted to cry or sink the damn thing i could not figure out which

Ah nutz! That sucks but at least it doesnt appeared to have been in an area where there is artwork done. By the way, that boat is incredible. The attention to detail is very nice. Congrats and good luck with the little fix ahead of you......John

its close to the skulls but should not affect them, after sleeping on it and wiping away the tears, i think i will fix it and put a small rub rail up there to keep from happening again, i did not want to, but...

maybe replace the cable with a strap or something that wont do damage if its rubbing up against it.

i just looked again....i guess i didnt understand what the problem was .....maybe still dont....

so the damage area is from where the boat is hitting that vertical bunk? and the cable that keeps it from hitting that bunk came loose?

what im getting at is if it were me, i would exhaust every possibility to fix the trailer to prevent this happening again before putting a rub rail on that beautiful boat.

the vertical bunk caused the damage, when i left for the lake i had the boat about 4" off the bunk with everything tight, i don't know if the cable stretched (i doubt it), came loose or what, i will be looking at that tonight, when i got home yesterday i put the boat in the garage and left it, i did not want to see it, trust me, i do not want a rub rail on the front but if i do go that route it will be something cool, polished aluminum or carbon fiber, something to that affect and only be in the middle between the forks (last resort though)

I gotta side with Brad on this one. That boat is beyond beautiful. Gotta be something that can be engineered so you dont have to put a rail on it. Good luck with it regardless and glad to hear it didnt get into the artwork

Fix the damage, then get yourself a sheet of clear vinyl sticker. You can order them from Factory Effex out of Valencia, CA. They'll have it shipped to your door in 3-4 days. I know the accountant over there so let me know if you're gonna go that route. The clear vinyl I think is 32 mils thick. I put it all over my old truck to keep it from getting chips in the paint around the tires. You could hardly tell it was there. In a low visibility place like that I would definitely consider it an option especially since it's white. They'll even do a color match vinyl sheet.

that sounds like something i would definatly (sp) be interested in, especially if they can color match, any one in particular i should talk to? or can you hook a brother up, i would only need about 3.5 ft by about 4-5" any help would be great, i want to get this done before anything else happens, and it makes me sick when i see it

, let me know-------thanks

I'll give a call. The clear worked great on my old truck... I highly recommend the clear.
