BIG J-O-B, VIDEO COMING
ORDERED THE NON-SKID PAINT, THE SAME AS THE BOAT CAME WITH 16 YEARS AGO.
IT'S VERY AGGRESIVE, AND I LIKE THAT. AT LEAST IN THE STERN WHERE ALL THE HEAVY TRAFFIC IS.
BOUGHT THE ''CARPET'' ROLLER NEEDED TO MAKE IT AGGRESIVE, A PAN, AND SOME THROW AWAY BRUSHES. PLUS A AGGRESIVE SCOURING GRINDER PAD, SO TO TAKE OFF SOME OF THE OLD THAT CHIPPED FROM A BOTCHED SUMMER PAINT JOB I DID, AFTER WE CUT THE DECK AND ADDED THE NEW FUEL TANK.
THIS PAINT APPLIES BEST BELOW 70 DEGREES. I NEVER HEADED THOSE INSTRUCTION, LAST TIME.
HOPEFULLY A FEW LAYERS WILL COME OFF WITH THE GRINDING WHEEL I GOT. TESTED IT ON A OLD DECK PIECE CUT OUT, FROM WHEN I ADDED A SECOND FUEL TANK INSPECTION HATCH. SEEMS TO WORK ON THE DECK PAINT THAT WAS LEFT ON THE SCRAP PIECE. ALWAYS GOOD TO PRE-TEST THINGS THAT ARE POSSIBLY PERMANANT.
THE START OF DECEMBER WILL BE BUSY. BECAUSE I'M ALSO RENEWING MY USCG LICENSE TOO. AT LEAST IT'S ALL JUST ''PAPER-WORK'' NOW. GOT THE PHYSICAL, AND HAD MY DRUG SCREENING ALREADY.
HERE'S THE DECK NOW....''LOOKING KINDA SAD''.
MOVING OUT MY 120 DIVIDED ICEY-TEK, THAT'S USED AS A SHRIMP BAIT WELL, AND A FISH BOX, BEHIND THE LEANING POST.
INSTEAD, WENT BACK TO THE 25 QT. ICEY-TEK UNDER THE LEANING POST, ALONG WITH MY OXYGEN BOTTLE THAT FEEDS PURE COOLED O2, VIA MY CERAMIC AIR STONE TO THE BAIT-COOLER.
IT FREE'S UP ABSOLUTE BALL-ROOM DANCING IN THE STERN. JUST WHAT IS NEEDED FOR WINTER FISHING.
ESPECIALLY, FLOAT-RIG FISHING!!
THE WHOLE REASON I HAD THIS BOAT BUILT.
MAJOR MOBILITY. NO CRAMPED FISHING!!
NO ONE WOULD EVER SIT ON THE 120 QT. COOLER I HAD BEHIND THE LEANING POST ANYHOW.
HERE'S A VIDEO EXPLAING A FEW THINGS THAT I DID LAST YEAR ABOUT MAKING ''BALL ROOM DANCING SPACE, AND WHY DOESN'T ANYONE EVER DO A OIL ANALYSIS OF THEIR 4-STROKE OUTBOARD OIL??
YOUTUBE VIEWER-COMMENTOR & GOOD FRIEND, ''OROWOCK GARY'', IN LONG ISLAND ALWAYS TALKS ABOUT, THIS VIDEO.
(I THINK HE LIKED MY FANCY FOOT WORK 👌)
