Got the fuel regulator fixed, put on the new drive actuators on so now we can throw the useless spring actuators away. (see Photo) the pic is on a nxt drive, couldn't find a photo on the bravo's but same basic design. All we lack is the flush system to hook the hose to, to run the engines, the pre-oiling system and the trailer.

Ordered water pressure relief valves, thru hull fittings, new screens for the flame arrestors 5", and a crank for the myco. Anything else?

Well we fixed the problem of the drives tie bar hitting the swim platform. We left the tie bars as they are and installed drive cylinder stops inside the drive cylinders. I was fixing to cut the damn swim platform off and not one of you mentioned the cylinder stops. Anyway they are 7 bucks a piece and stop the drives before ripping the platform off. Have I got to do everything?

Well now that's a far less complex fix than we would expect you to take, so don't blame us! I actually thought you were worried they were going to hit when you were running the boat not when beaching it. Glad you found at least one cheap project!


Notice: VV has more parts for sale @ 50% off !!!

I usually don't laugh before 06:30 so you got me there. I'm still not as bad as the guy that bought 2 Arneson bravo conversions installed, then blew a 525 in one hr, then installed bigger power and #6's. There's a depression going on 90% off. I guess I can make necklace's out of the rest of them and put them on e-bay.

And on Tax Day no less, I spent most of the day depressed and feeling poor after the AM check writing session. You have a good day, and remember today any money you make you actually get to keep. If you work hard you can be a multi-millionaire just like the Prez.
