Started Saturday morning off with getting her ready! She got a oil and filter change, new impeller, re-installed the heater, and finally finished wiring the new Exile 65m in boats.
Ash gave me a helping hand and monitored the water so I could nose around and make sure everything was good to go.
With the lift on the truck, and the tires sticking out an inch past the body I knew I would have more rocks flying than I did with the ford. So I dug around on the net and studied all the mud flap systems out, including Mike showing me what his were and decided I needed to just make my own how I wanted them. Built these Friday night and painted them Saturday. I'mm in the process of getting some stainless steel to make some weights for the bottom of them. They need a little more than just the weight of the rubber to not blow back as much.
Bauceflaps!
We had pretty crappy weather Sunday, 20+ mph winds and cloudy as all get out, but we were headed that way regardless!

Finally made it! It floats!
Beautiful day...
The girls and dogs were thrilled to be there. I should have taken more pics of Crash, this guy LIVES for the water.
There she is

Only thing I noticed is the blower. It kicks on, but it has developed some form of growl to go with it. I didn't get to check it out when we were out there, so I will do it this week. It acts like it is moving air but something is trying to restrict it. Should be a simple fix.
