What is that pump on the thru hull? Will you use the same fitting to feed a washdown or is that a washdown/baitwell pump?

I believe it's a Rule. It has a second port for the addition of a nipple fitting that goes to the washdown pump. It just allows water to get to the washdown pump. Just like the Kodiak bait pumps. Has the fishing been any good over there?

Well I am going to copy that idea now too

You plan on hooking up a shurflo (or similar) pump to that extra nurple? Our June fishing has been ok

I bought the same pump for the same reason!

With the trailer functioning I was finally able to get the boat out of the carport and into the sunlight were I could see what the paint job looked like. All the hard work is starting to seem worth it as the boat comes together. I'm still waiting on one window panel and then the windshield will be finished.

A couple shots showing how the window trim pushes into place.

The inserts that I made

Cruising this past weekend in the 20sf near Walnut Grove Ca

MAN THAT IS AMAZING ALL THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE. IT LOOKS UNBELIEVABLE. GOOD LUCK WITH IT....

I COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT A MACHINE IT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND HANDLE WITH A BRACKET AND TWIN FOUR STROKES.....MAYBE WE COULD START A COLLECTION... GOOD LUCK CANT WAIT TO SEE IT IN THE WATER AND ALL FINISHED...

SHaaaZammm!

Its a preasure and plivelage to see your work if only in pictures. Looks fantastic, Strick!

Maybe I'll sneak away for the Bridge School benefit this year and meander to the delta...

Or when it's finished I can tow it down your way and you can take me so some of those Yellow Tail spots I read about.

Fuel tanks are finally finished

I keep telling myself it's all fun stuff from here. Hopefully we will be able to get the engine installed within the next couple weeks. There are 50 million little things still to do. It's funny how sometimes one little thing can eat up 2 hours of the day.

Beautiful work, I love the subtlety of the color combination and the polished stainless rubrail is the icing. This will be a very pretty boat when finished. Only constructive comment I have is I think some light blue-green tint to the windshield glass would be cool. I've seen a Silverhawk cuddy and a restored Chris Craft Commander that had this & it looked very cool. Keep up the good work!
