Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Boat finally done.
My 9 year old son and I have been working on a boat for the last 5 months as a grief therapy project and finally got done. Well not totally done. He wants a blue stripe painted down the side and since its his boat it will happen yet. He's been saving all the money he gets from birthdays and little jobs and managed to have enough to buy a used 4hp outboard. Here it is.
I've gotta agree with the kid. A blue stripe down the side would really set this thing off. Nice looking project. Thanks for sharing it.
Those with small used outboards can relate to this picture. I wore the skin off of two fingers trying to get that motor to start. It had started fine at the shop after I had installed a tune up kit. Unfortunately when I put the cover on I had snagged the sparkplug wire and yanked it out of the boot. A little rigging and we was in business.
Very nice!! Looks like you're going to have fun for a while with it! What lake is that?? If you don't mind me asking. Since it home made, do you not have to get CL # and sticker through parks and rec.???
It's Island Lake up on the Grand Mesa. Yea I need to get the CL #. Couldn't wait any longer tho. Decided to risk it. Not sure what they would do if they caught you. Plan was to act dumb. Slavic heritage and all probably could have pulled that off
Ya since you had the kids with and told them the story, they probley would have let ya go. Congrats!!Originally Posted by PSS
Great family project-well done Dad
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
It looks like it was great fun!
Mars is entirely inhabited by robots.
Find a pond you can leave it in for about a week straight - it's about the most accurate way of determining where to put the bootstripe.
I'm in on the blue stripe! Thanks for sharing! We need more good stories around here.
