Mr. Slickfish,
You apparently know me, who are you? La Porte is not that big of a place.
Do you still have a Lo pro?
I knew it was a matter of time before someone mentioned Daryl.
I am not going to bash Daryl but this boat still has problems. I have major repair plans for this winter. As far as it still looking good there is not much of the original boat that I bought still there. The bare hull console shell and the motor is about it. I am just making the best of it and having some fun this summer.
CG Wilson,
I would be happy to post some pictures but my boat is a good example of how NOT to rig your drains. This is one of the things I have planned for this winter.
Call email or text me and I will send you photos of what I have. I don't know what part of town you live in but you are welcome to come look at my boat also. I would be interested in any plans you have on this because I am still not sure what I am going to do here either.

Slickfish,

The two major problems are with the deck drains and there is still issues with the utility tunnel. I would not rig the utility tunnel like this one was done. Going from the motor to the sump is the right way to do this.
There are a few things I want to do and undo to just make it right. You mentioned the console being cut. This was a mistake I feel like a monkey on a basketball when at the helm just because it is too low. I plan on glassing in and raising the console six or seven inches. Like I mentioned there are some other things that need to be addressed but these are the big items.
Why don't you give me a call? I would like to get with you and show you what I have and I would like to see your boat too.
