The hull looks great. I like the photos. Especially the Keystone beer.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I have not forgotten about the boat, but I have been bidding on some .gov surplus items and to my great surprise I won something.

I am going to pick up my new boat puller Wednesday - hopefully I'll have some boat updates shortly after.

That should pull the lake to the boat without too much effort. :lol:

Those are fun trucks as long as you don't have to get anywhere fast :D I played with one that a friend had, it was a 1953 (I think) with a buick engine and ran great, but topped out about 50mph with the engine screaming :D

What powerplant is in the one you just bought? I'm assuming it's much newer than a 1953 model :wink:

My boat puller is a 1967 Kaiser Jeep M35A2 with a Continental LDT-465 straight six multi-fuel.

It had a flat...

I know a guy that owns a tire place. When he said he could work on these tires for me the whole project got a green light (because I don't want to mess with those damn split rims). Anyways, I took him the flat which needed a new tube and he said he would fix it if I pulled out two small stumps. "You're going to fix my tire for free AND I get to use the winch? AWESOME!"

Back to the regularly scheduled program:

Sorry for not updating - There was a little disagreement last week and I'm moving. Work has been crazy so I've only now gotten my computer set up. I hope to take the M35 this weekend to bring the boat to its new home. I don't know how long it will be until I'm all settled in and can work on it but I'll let you know. I'll try to remember to take a picture of the boat on its first trip too.

Stuff happens. You'll work it out. The boat is looking really nice, be careful with it. It would be fun to see your truck and boat together. Good luck with the move.
