[QUOTE="Poormans Boatright, post: 232095, member: 5870"] Hey yea Rich, It does take a crew to pitch in and fund one of these trips. All of the trips we have been taking are in the summer months. Where do you go during the Texas summer? Thank you for the compliment Jerry, coming from you that means a lot to me as you are quite the builder yourself. I have been keeping up with your build from the very first post. You've done a very professional job with your build, a lot of individually in taste. That's what makes this a great site, seeing everyone's different tastes and ideas. Your patience and planning have definitely paid off and it shows in your build. As far as covering the hull ID #'s, the float pod is just below the tag about 1/2" and it remained in its stock location. Are the id #'s on your boat stamped permanently to the transom? or is there a riveted tag? If there is a tag I don't think the lawman would say too much if you simply drilled out the rivets and relocated the tag higher up the transom. That is if the pod will cover the #'s up. Yes, you are right they are great for entering/exiting the boat, definitely safer also. Ha, the Curado story, yea I got lucky on that one. Funny thing happened on Wednesday's trip, there was a boat with 5 anglers in it fishing along the bulkhead at the Yacht Basin (right in my casting area of course) when the same thing happened to one of their rigs unfortunately for that guy he wasn't able to retrieve his after several attempts.
