    14' Aroliner conversion (more pic's)

    I took her out this week, it was very windy and it handled well. The foot control will take a little of getting used to. With the high winds I did a little of over steering. Other than that is was great. Next trip out a fishing I will go. :D

    I have not been able to get out on a lake yet, but after I installed it I have played with it on the boat/trailer and it seems to work good. I am trying to get out to a lake next week, by then I should have the new chicken coops done and set for the new arrivals the following weekend.

    Thanks, Sadly :( no I have not been able to get to a lake yet. I hope next week or the next. I still have a little wrap-up to do on the boat and the trailer. And a lot of work to do on the chicken coops before the new arrivals show up in two weeks.

    Cutting down a sprinfield seat post

    I thought if I cut the top portion at just below the insert and remove the insert from this part I would reinstall it in the shortened shaft
