That's to crazy for me!....I like the relaxed boat life, like to have BBQ's on my boat, Cocktail parties, Camping trips, Romantic dinners with beautiful women, Entertain clients, Skiing, Wake boarding, Kneeboarding, Boat parties, Fishing.......bla..bla..bla
But my favorite part was the sleeping......it was just a 3 inch upolstered polyurathane foam cushion laying across a plywood sheet in a v birth. but that boat rockin in the river and the water splashing and gurgleing on the hull ...was the best sleep I have ever had in my entire life still to this day!...NO Felger Carb!...... No fancy craftmatic, or Posture pedic Memory foam or whatever bed could never compare.
I miss my boat
The "Personal Water Craft People" use to trail us because my boat threw a very big wake...so they loved me!
We had alot of fun

Re: The engine cowling
Found a close enough bowl. I need to trip it a bit, take down one ring, and square up the bottom section. This is it, but it will take some work.

Re: The engine cowling
Once I started working on the parts I was having a problem finding some of the measurement. I only had 3 of the 7 measurements needed on the 1st item, so I went and studied the rest of the photos and took notice I only really have about 40% of the measurements. So it is a lot of wing it and guessing work. I am not sure about the measurements, but after I started on the engine cowling piece I have made a few adjustments in what the size was originally in mind compared to what I started with. Although I am missing measurements it hasn't sopped me using logical guess work. Working out a ball park guess, and then rounded off numbers if I have something that is 4 7/8 inches I have rounded off to 5 inches, and so far so good. The same with the engine cowling. It will work out nicely, just not as quick as having all the numbers needed to complete the project.
