Back to boat building.
I am an analog guy living in a digital world. I must say, I thoroughly enjoy the sound and smell of a 2 stroke screaming across the shallow, clear waters of konk-land.
I have installed many a 4 stroke on my customers boats, but this will be my first personal foray into 4 stroke territory, and I must confess, I am a little excited. Ok, alot excited.
Boat was launched yesterday, w/l was checked. She floated good, real happy.
One thing is pretty clear, for a boat that doesn't have much stuff, this little rocket has, lot's of chit.
The answer is in the details.
Flush latches, hinges, recessed lips, screwless rodholders, SeaStar Pro Steering. And just a whole host of little things, not all ideas are mine. And I must say, the steering hose's through the bracket idea came from non other than Mr. Herman himself. Who, even though we do the same thing, "mess about in boats", has never ever been anything but helpful and a true gentleman.
