Hey @fly
Apparently I forgot I made this thread at one point?

Can we merge them?
Anyways. I mixed up some gelcoat and tried to get the color right. Not 100% there, might need some more white added back in though.
Then I needed something to move my bigger boat (I don't think I've started a first thread for that one, nevermind a second thread)
So I started grinding and cutting on some bed frames.
Quick stop at the Hammer Store (Harbor Freight - Where all our tools turn into hammers!)
Some bandsaw time.
And some fluxweld time
Got to pick up a length of 1.25" or so square tubing for the handle, but I should have a boat dolly soon enough.
Finally, it is raining and I have steering on the boat. I need to check underhood and make sure that it is arranged appropriately. I think I may have it one sheave off.
Front seat needs to be installed, rear seat needs tightened, need to get the controls installed again.
Outboard needs the carb rebuilt, I may or may not install electronic ignition in the outboard, I finally found the god damned starter so I need to wire that cause there's no way in fuck that I'm going to rope over a 25HP motor, aaaaaand I think that's all I need to knock out. Then, provided the registration numbers ship soon (I got some neat ones that have this shadow'd look to them) I can get on the water.

Pics - History of an Old Boat
For all pictures, click them to get a higher res version So a while back a friend gave me a '60s era Herter's fish finder. It was interesting, and it works. Looking up information about it made me find out a bit about George Herter, the guy who started Herter's. George Herter's stores...
