Duck Pond Redneckery

[Rigjockey]

They sent me to Des Plaines once for a pick up. I sent a Q.C. message saying, I am in Des Plaines boss, Des Plaines. Boss! I thought it was funny.
They thought it would be funny to send me to Sandusky Ohio from there
I didn't think that shit was funny at all

Yeah it's been on the trailer for a while.



I did not photoshop the numbers off BTW. They're just faded to oblivion.

 

[Duck]

This crack would require removing the piece from the boat, and it's not pop riveted to the crossmembers like everything else. It's riveted to the hull with the big rivets nobody on the internet seems to know how to install.

So I'm just going to brace it with bent flat stock.

 

[Duck]

I eyeballed it, looking down from the top. It's an acute angle and one side also needs twisted because of the V shape of the hull.

So I cut a piece and bent it in the vise with pliers,... Figured I'd be walking back and forth between the boat and the vise to fine tune it but no,... first try and it's a perfect fit. Both angles.

Nose section is ready for plywood and carpet.



Not much else I can do until the metal shop down the street has time to do 's couple aluminum welds.

Gonna have' em go ahead and chop this thing out and weld a patch over the hole it'll leave. If that thing gets kicked around too many times it could tear open a hole in the hull bigger than what the bilge pump can handle.

Stupid rubber air hose that goes to the blow gun by the workbench dry-rotted and cracked where it makes kind of a sharp bend transitioning from ceiling to wall. I noticed the compressor would kick on every 20-30 minutes when I had the supply valve on. Couldn't hear anything leaking until I went up into the attic.



Ended up putting a 90 there. An improvised redneck 90 because it was 9pm on a Sunday.





For some reason it doesn't leak.

Do you have any friends that lived?

best to not have any friends. no need to apologize to anyone, lend them money, or have them over for dinner.

 

[Electric Chicken]

You lied to me...

It's corrosive, but it's not....


Front of the box says its corrosive:



Side of the box says it's not:

 

[Duck]

Oh, and there's a $600 power cord.

 

[Duck]

This was a pain in the ass to do by myself.



This was an even bigger pain in the ass.



But it's better than laying on my back on that filthy floor getting all kinds of crap in my face when I clean up the old rivet sealant. Only a few are leaking but I think I'm going to do them all. Just because it's such a pain in the ass to get off the trailer and flip it.

And I have no idea how in the sam hell I'm gonna get it back on the trailer. Good opportunity to do some surgery on the trailer though. Except it's outside in the freezing damn cold.

 

[Duck]

The ones that look like shit are the ones that leak. I think someone tried to seal them with Liquid Nails.

 

[Duck]

Looks like they simply put the Gluvit or whatever over the older stuff.



Wire wheel.



Only 5 were leaking but I did 57 of them just because they were ugly.





Tomorrow I'm either going to Tennessee or I'm going to go horse whip the aluminum welding guy cuz I want that live well tube cut out and patched.
