Well Rathbun didn't happen but my helper Liam and I re-wires my trailer!

Out with the old broken not even submersible auto trailer lights:


In with the new truly submersible LED's!

It's a little fix that doesn't have much wow factor I know, but I've been lucky so far. I figure it was only a matter of time before I passed a cop with time on his hands! Better safe an sorry right?

You were missed Josh, but at least you got something done that needed to be done.

Turns out I had fuel line issues on White Bear Lake here on the cities. The joy of old boats right?

Isn't that the truth. I discovered that I am still having idle issues when going the launch. Oh well, Ignitor II and spark plugs will be ordered on wednesday. I am crossing my fingers that it will help. Other wise she ran Great!

At least you guys got in the water ! 

kidding ...

Josh, we would have enjoyed having you with us.  It was a great group.  Brandon, the boat looks really good.  Thanks for showing me those bow sockets - I might get some real soon.  Doran, Goldie is awesome.  Your interior really looks good.  I don't think you would have received much better if you had paid to have it done "professionally" unless you were spending serious money on it.
