I Can't Wait to Go

[HotHallet]

The river season is quickly approaching and everyone is working on projects. The last month has defintely been busy for me with a bunch of projects on the boat and the refurbishing of my trailer. Everything is almost complete though. The trailer has been completely sandblasted, re-painted with white DuPont Imron, fit with all new L.E.D. lighting, and re-wired so far. It was a chore as I created all new lighting openings in the trailer and had to have all the old openings welded up and bodyworked. I am covering and mounting the bunks this weekend and mounting a Rancho shock set up on it next week. After that it gets stainless fenders, new wheels and tires, and goes to the pinstriper to get a few lines to match the candy red on the boat. Then all I have to do is put the boat back on, install new wheel bearings and pack them and head for the lake. I am shooting for three weeks to a month to squeeze in one quick day trip before the river trip to Needles in March. The boat got a flase floor, all brand new carpet, a manual place diverter with floor mount handle,new bilge pump, new chrome ski tow (the old one was rusted to shit) and all new SS seat hardware and gas cap hardware. Fixed alot of the hokie stuff present on the boat when I bought it. I can't wait to hit the water this summer. All this rain and cold weather is killing me. Anyway just an update on my projects. I'll post some pics when everything is all done with the help of Hackjob.

HotHallet: Dude, did you guys check out my trailer?
Guys: Ah, no we didn't.
HotHallet: Ah, Dude, come on, let's go pull the boats out of the water so you can all see the cool work to the trailer
Guys: Ah, that's ok.
J/K Travis! I'm sure it came out bitchin....and post some pics. I heard you take photos for a living and write stuff. Well, we all can see you write, but lets see some photos!

Pics soon. I need to have my buddy shoot them with the digital and put them up.

HB- HA HA HA! Very funny. The fact is my boat isn't fast so I'm doing alot of things to make it look cool. Anyway, I can shoot good pictures with a 35mm but do not have a digital camera. I know I am behind the times but our company won't buy them for us and my check is too slim to go splurge on anything but the boat. I'll have some pics up soon. I'm going to try and post in progress photos of the trailer in the spray booth and it going into the sandblasting booth. I'll get some photos of the lights, the diamond plate steps (which hackjob and flatbroke helped me with)and a few other odds and ends.

HotHallet,
What's up. Post some pics of your ride if you got 'em. I may bump into you around town. I can probably shoot some pics for you to post if you want. I'm from Torrance too. I will probably be shooting some pics of mine this weekend to post. Let me know. Of course, going to the boat show on Saturday, a special little Valentine's gift for my lady!! HAHA

Hooter- That's cool. Where do you live in Torrance. My folks live near West High and I live in old Torrance by the Honda building. I am probably going to the boat show Sunday. Maybe we can get together this weekend and get those photos to give folks on the boards an update. I am carpeting my bunks Saturday morning at my folks place where the trailer is at. My cell is 310-344-2555 if you want to give me a call. Did you sell that boat yet? You and your lady have to come to Taco tuesday at El Paso sometime. Myself, Tom Foolrey, Hackjob, Flatbroke, and a few others get together from time to time there for a little mid-week break.
Later HH

Later HH HH,
We're practically neighbors man!! I'm over by Lowe's now. I know exactly where you are. I used to live on Arlington just North of Torrance Blvd. (couple houses behind that bank) back in the day.
Boat show Saturday, maybe get home and work on my own by the afternoon. I sanded off the old CF #s, I have to buff out the Gel and put on the new ones and figure out what else I want to do to get it ready for the season.
I'll steal(I mean borrow) the digital from work for the weekend. I'm gonna snap some pics of my newer boat, don't have any yet. I got some posted of the older one, and no, I haven't sold it yet.
El Paso heeeeeelll yeah. I was there I think Thursday last week. We usually roll up for Happy Hour(more so during Monday Night Football). I may have seen you there before. 75 cent tacos, can't beat it. I'm down to go.
I have your #. My cell is (562)631-9855. You call me, I'll call you, we can somehow get together this weekend and take care of those pics. Cool???
Later, JASON
