Y'all will just have to catch us on the next ride.:cool: :D ;) Come to think of it, I've never seen you're hides up at Isabella before, don't let me find out y'er a'scared of a few trees in the middle of a lake now..... ;) :p

[Desert Rat]

Hey Rich
If you don't mind we're still up fo Sat at Isabella. Probably pull in about 9:30 or so. I know your at Tille but is anyone going to be at Paradise Cove? Might be easier to launch at Paradise and cruise over than taking the drive around the lake.

[eliminatedsprinter]

I was going to stay at Paradise, but Rich talked me into driving around the lake. But I'll fix his a$$ when we wake him up as we roll in after midnight fri am.;)

Steve, I thought you were leaving early on Friday:confused:
No problem on the midnight wake up call, any way we can help is not a issue. I know it is dark in the campsites, since there is so many trees;) seriously, if we are sleeping, just knock on the door and we will help:sleeping:

[eliminatedsprinter]

Anytime, the repairs were pretty major:eek: I will have to post up pictures tomorrow, Hallet Dave came over with Josh and my neighbor Scott. Josh started tearing into the floor and we ended up taking the whole floor out:yuk: Can not say enough about Josh and the way he jumped in on this project.
By the way, those boat stands are awesome:D

[eliminatedsprinter]

Rich
I hope the repairs are complete.:D Thanks to you, Scott, and all who helped us get the boat to the water and manuver around the campsite etc.. The trip went well despite the mishaps.:cool: :D It's always great when some of our group get together.:D Now get those Pics up..;) :D

Steve, lets just say not a minor repair:(

[eliminatedsprinter]

Need any help?
I'll be off starting next week for 2 weeks. Do you thnink you will still be working on it?

our goal is to be done by Sunday/Monday:(

[Desert Rat]

How about some pics of the damage:eek: And yor repair process

[AngryJosh]

I'll throw in my .02cents here. There is a 16" crack in the bottom of the boat, and the passenger side stringer is ripping out. Its already halfway tore out. Both pieces of 1/2" plywood that ties the stringers to the sides of the boat were cracked, waterlogged and coming out. We decided it was easier to tear out all the damage we found, and then start rebuilding.
As it stands right now, the 16" crack will get fixed tonight, and Rich's neighbor Scott will cut me the jigs for the stringers before we pull them. Once the jigs are cut, we can pull the stringers out and use them as templates to cut some new ones. By tomorrow, I would like to start laying in the new stringers.
We are also going to build a sort of gussett that ties in the stringers to the spine. Then its just a matter of laying in the new floor, and building some battery trays. Due to work, we cant start until about 6pm. It'll be a long week!!:D ;)

[AngryJosh]

Oh yeah, Rich was taking picks last night so hopefully he will post them.
But, I brought my camera today, so I'll take some picks and post them up.

When we were sitting on the beach Thursday afternoon, a young kid walked up and asked if we had a tow strap and a truck that could pull him out:D he said he was may have got a little to close to the lake. I said lets take a look and see if we could get him out. So we piled in the truck and went to find his truck.
