Making a bit of progress..

[mattydipps]

Well I'm getting a little excited.. I've got the waterbox gutted, shortened, and welded back together, j-pipe is slightly shortened.. All that's left is to mark out and cut the hole for the thru hull and put her all back together.. Hopefully I can finish everything before the weekend so I can get out and enjoy the Memorial Day weekend..

I'm thinking about throwing a couple coats of paint on it.. Or keeping it metal.. Not sure yet

I'll keep y'all posted and I'll post up a sound clip of the modded box with the thru hull..

Here's a little update for y'all... Thru hull is on, water box is back in...

Everything is done except when I was tightening up the furthest most clamp (the one on the sleeve attaching the pipe to the thru hull attachment).. It was a little too loose and I pushed it out of reach.. I'm waiting for a buddy who's smaller then me to climb up in there and tighten it.. I'll post up a sound clip later on tonight..
