Duck Pond Redneckery


I bet there is some dumbassery that buys the 2 pack
Well shit.

I went there to get bearing seals for the trailer hubs, new lights and a 4-flat connector for the wiring.

I didn't know you can buy just the lenses too. I hadn't really looked that closely at the ones on the trailer, I just knew the lenses were broken and...

So anyway lenses were $2.78 so I just got lenses, and bulbs.

Got home and looked at the trailer and the damn housings are cracked too. :mad:

So now I gotta go back and get the whole lights and return the lenses.

Be sure to get the 2 for $30 deal!:p

Half throttle it does 5-6 mph.

But if I give it full throttle, it rapidly accelerates to 9 mph then gets cavitation around the prop because it's not far enough under the surface and I didn't put the cavitation plate on.

Might do 10-12 mph with it on, if it actually works.
 
As much as I busted butt trying to get my yacht covered this year, right at the last heavy snowstorm or two the tarps caved because the leftover black tarp straps from flatbeds broke due to extreme changes in temperature and some water got in. Then it turned to ice.

Not good.

It was just at the stern though and maybe only a gallon or three so hopefully no damage to the seams...

Your "yacht" doesn't have a drain hole?

Never store a boat outside with the plug in the drain. Even with a cover on it.

If it fills up with rain it'll destroy the trailer and probably the boat too, just from the weight.

I was going to leave mine outside tonight and I was going to remove the drain plug in case it rains, but I ended up putting it back in the shop cuz I need to rig up a throttle return spring.
 
No it has no drain plug. Really annoying.
Good thing your boy is starting to get big. You're going to have to take it off the trailer and store it upside down on that cement pad out back.

It ain't that heavy but it'll still be easier with two people.
 
No leaks. :thumbsup:

i don't care what anyone says, like...."why does it take you something like 47 years to build a shed", or why does it take you 56 weeks to repair a boat"...

you're ok in my book........you're on page 3....!!!!!!!!

(of a 3 page book)................:rolllaugh3:
 
looks good so far Duck
I have a flat botton with a drain plug and a build in live well with a drain plug.I believe in drain plugs.
I bought mine from a local DMV man over 30 years ago who was going thru a nasty divorce and he spent his weekends drunk at the time.I think I gave him 250.00 for the boat and trailer.My motor needs work and it don`t have any lights
have fun with it

Yeah he's alright.

I just wouldn't want him to change my oil. I wouldn't see that vehicle again for 3 years.

Since you’re the second person to suggest that I might actually do it.

I’m not stubborn after all...
 
First pocket knife I ever owned (that my parents knew about).

Used to have the Cub Scouts emblem on it.

I haven't seen this in about 30 years.
