made some minor upgrades to the little boat while the big one undergoes some last minute construction. put in the real seat as opposed to a camping chair, and added a headlight, which (duh) is HUGE at night. a little testing revealed: great success.

whoever made this bus bar torqued these nuts on here hard enough to hold a prop on a P-51 Mustang. why. WHY

same

anyway, roof's up. retrofitted from a derelict 24 footer so it's a little big but that's a feature when it'll be used for solar panels

let's fuckin GOOOOOOO

4th of July on the lake in DIY electric center console

my kingdom to anyone who gets me specs for this fucking thing (I need the resistance for the POT that controls it)

@arrdem so it took about a year and a half. fairly impressive tbh.

this has just about come together. need bolts for the transom sleeve mounting bracket for the steering assembly, for some reason I can't find them. following that its a matter of drilling the console into the deck, disconnecting and remounting the throttle, and, well. sea trials.

what is the best way to bend one of the bars of this round up against a long shaft? (such that the arc is in the short dimension)
