I Need A Shrink !

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?

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

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!

I remember seeing that black silverhawk and the green tinted glass did look nice. I'll look into it when I pick up the last window pane this week. It's hard to see but they already have a slight green tint to them already. The two cabin windows have a smoke tint. Thanks for the nice comments.

Beautiful work, strick. She's really coming together. Can't wait to see the seat boxes installed. BTW, what's the spec on the windshield glass? Thickness? Tempered or laminated?

1/4 inch thick tempered. Heavy stuff.
