Thanks guys. I've been following your build g'black, and any compliment from you is something. What a trip that build of yours is.

Hey Dougster,
Crossing threads here, haven't been on for awhile.
Maybe run up to your taco joint in Blanco next week.

Is anyone else having problems viewing the pics? I am getting a " please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting " message, and have no earthly clue what they are talking about....( maybe copy/paste the pics ( ?? )

Photobucket changed they way they do business and now want to charge you a bunch of money to host your pictures on another site. Most folks have quit using them. I just load my pictures to my gallery here.

[Dougster]

Photobucket really irritated me on this, so I'll not do anything with them again.

Bought a new toy for my SK14:



Yeah, it's a 4 stroke 5hp Propane engine. Don't want to worry about bad fuel and gummy carbs any more. Supposedly this little guy can sit unused for months and start right up. We'll see. It weighs 60 lbs. and the propane tank holds 11 lbs. The Trolling motor is on the nose and I have had its battery (50 lbs) in the stern, which I think I must move to the front, like this:



I don't like how tall the battery sits. It's an AGM and can lay on it's side but that's awkward with the battery box and lid. Kind of a head scratcher. Mounting hardware to strap it to the little 4" bulkhead is ordered. Dunno about how she'll handle the weight/balance etc.
