[QUOTE="thedude, post: 452178, member: 23372"] Well progress has been slow BUT I did get the boat into the water on its maiden voyage! The good news is the motor ran, and the boat has no leaks! The kids had fun and we managed to catch one nice catfish on a short trip. The bad news is the prop was spun. So I have ordered a turning point prop and hub for $60 at Walmart. I plan to have the stainless one rebuilt and carry one as a spare. Local repair shop quoted me $50 to $60 to repair. I will install it the turning point Hustler prop this coming weekend. Also I scored a new garmin echomap 53dv at cabelas. It was a $110 open box. I added a transducer for $60 and have tested the unit to make sure it powers on. Seems to be working fine. My plan is to mark the water level this weekend and mount the tranducer on a cutting board glued on to the transom. More progress to come![img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180520/0c7e2925b93188cfcff831b6e2a716e8.jpg[/img][img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180520/dda309a6e48f877fe8f586db25996dca.jpg[/img][img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180520/46ea9344682b857691653c6c2a95b822.jpg[/img][img]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180520/d1d417f7a357c9ab14b5a630847c6ad3.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
