    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Someday I’m going to make a giant Adirondack chair for my yard. I have wanted to do it for years but just can’t find the time.

    Evinrude big twin 40

    There are a few way to get air in. The adapter from the Lu oil pump bottles came in very handy. I use them on a piece of hose with a schrader valve it. Around 10 psi is all that needed. You don’t want to try and blow a seal.

    I had cat once that was tormented by a blue Jay almost daily. The cat would be laying in the yard and the bird would swoop down on him. That all came to end one day. I didn’t see it but the bird was left at the front door. He would often bring rattle snakes home as well. They do have amazing...

    Evinrude big twin 40

    I can’t remember if you did a pressure or vacuum test or not. I would do a pressure test and spray soap water around any seals if nothing bubbles up drop it in a bucket water while under pressure and see if that reveals anything. If not try a vacuum test some seal can leak in one direction but...

    Cicada

    I have found them a few times but they are usually not intact. They have missing wings or legs. I’m guess birds attacked them. This one turned out to still be alive when I caught it. My buddy told be they play dead and that’s why it was so easy to catch. This turned out to be true as the next...

    82 50 hp tilt and trim

    If you want to get o rings for the future I would recommend going to a hydraulic shop and getting a good quality set and most importantly oil resistant. Take your old ones or your spare set just incase they need to match them. My local Napa auto parts does hydraulic lines I’m not sure if thats a...

    Cicada

    Thx That’s basically how it went down I just wasn’t there to deal with the finale steps before it was to late and the epoxy had gelled to much to mess with it. It will still make a good paper weight.

    Cicada

    Well here it is. Fail on perfect. Unfortunately I was called out to a fire alarm in the middle of the pour and it was a couple hours before it made it into the pressure pot so there are some bubbles. Due to the shape every bubble appears as 2 or 3 due to the reflection. And it seams I didn’t...

    Old Crosby 14ft sea sled.

    I’m not familiar with that boat but looking at pics it looks her and solid. Are you getting on plane okay? If not try adjusting your tilt and see if it helps any but your likely not going to get much more out of it. Hopefully other will chime in soon

    That looks like fun for sure. My daughter went skydiving a few weeks ago I was very jealous. She a commercial pilot so it was odd for her to jump from a perfectly good plane.

    Will boat for this style trailer?

    I agree with Jimbo. If you don’t have access to say Douglas Fir, untreated Yellow Pine or something stronger than White Pine framing lumber the next best option would be to cover the treated lumber with a flashing tape to keep the wood separate form the hull. Chemicals will still leach through...

    I have been busy but maybe this weekend if it rains. It’s been in a bag with silica gel packs drying out so it should be good to go by now.
