Since we are kin and all .. I may have to stop in for a visit on my way to or from the keys this year... we head down the 28 th of june to Islamorada till the 4th and check in Key West on the 4th till the 7th... Brother in-law is bringing his Hydra sports down from Orlando.. we fish hard till we head to key west....

Yep, since we are kin and all. One question, you did say you like Auburn, right? Cause I see Orange Beach Alabamy on your hailport, and I am no fan of that Bama coach. :-)
Now, late June, there is probably a pretty good chance the new "Konk" and I will be on a photoshoot with LLL/TM II in the Bahama's mon. :-)

Two women in the fishbox is one too many unless you are faster than Bruce Lee and have lots of fried plantains and sushi.

WAR EAGLE... I was born and raised in Pensacola... Great Grandmaw was die hard bama and i sat with her every sunday and listened to Bear on the radio show... I rebel'd against the family deciding i was going to be a Auburn Fan... Never did like any of the Florida teams.. may have to tag along on one of you adventures across the stream one day... don't have a live aboard yet so we'd have to hit a hotel or tent it... at some point i will be making a deck extention and pad for the bow and a "tent enclosure" to go over it... thats a long way off in the future right now...

No problem. I'm not a real fan of the Florida teams either, I am just NOT a fan of anything Sabin touches.
I've camped numerous times on the SeaCraft under the stars, been lucky I guess, I get a room if someone needs creature comforts (bed, a/c).
That would be fun, I plan a couple of trips over this summer, some in June in the SeaCraft and end of July I will take the Mak E and SeaCraft to Cat/Bimini are for a week. No Abaco's this year. :-( don't really have the time.

cool sorry to side track your comentary... we now reume our regullary scheduled story..LOL great read by the way !!

Boot went on yesterday, came out nice, look's dark, but I am sure when it gets in the sunlight it will be fine.
Got the "pump room" wired up, space is getting to be a premium.
Console goes in today, then start wiring that in.
Cali this week end, then come back and get this thing wired up!
Bahamas weather is here!!

Had a little progression on the bote.
Boot top is done, bottom painted, console in, start to get that wired in.
One of the things I didn't mention was, I changed the cooler in the seat to a water tank.
In the old boat, that is where the batteries, a small water tank (6 gals) and the sub went. This water tank is bigger, but room is tight, need to put two batteries and a sub in still, won't be a lot of room left for bags.
And I must say, laying the boot's on the bow sections of a SeaCraft, is like no other boat. ;-)

I like that water tank idea! How many gallons were you able to fit up there? Should help balance that bracket nicely.

I'm guessing 25 gals give or take. Not bad. :-)
