Thanks Ben, cool vid mate. Love that blue water, I like the opening when the fish get to swim around a little before the steel fly's. Nice balance of life and death.

Flexing is power lost[/QUOTE] LunkerBuster

That's awesome don. So it can give itself an inflation touch up while you are out on the water?
Genius
Roger that. In the sun and on the trailer without sea water cooling the tubes, the over pressure valves vent the expansion of gas. Once the boat is in 60 to 70 degree water, air top up is needed to maintain a hull pressure of 4.5lbs on this boat. Running a SIB (Small Inflatable Boat) not pumped to Spec air pressure allows the transom to flex under power. On oncoming seas the bow will flex up, stressing the floorboards and causing poor hull performance and wear at seams.A dinghy being rowed to the harbor can get away with a soft hull, a high performance boat can not.

Thanks Boss, I couldn't bring myself to post another picture of the CF control cover after the last coat of epoxy. I'm going to let it set for a couple weeks before I detail the cover.

Picked up a 13 cf pony tank for the boats auto inflation system, there is already a sleeve for it on the aft floor.
The Navy uses a larger cyl but I don't have a sub to launch it from;)
. The tank will be for rapid air top up.Cheers, Don

Nice gerald, I'm going to start digging when I finish my boat.

Sorry guys going to keep it, no longer for sale.
Cool, think not about the $ for parts but how much you enjoyed building it. That gun will give you many fine meals and be there to admire on the rainy days, perhaps inspiring you to build more for friends or family.

I'm old school, if I can't get fish to visit with grunts and croaks and a little finger wiggle, I bask in mother natures sweet song. I got a couple small local tuna last month, but it didn't turn me on because guys on the boat I was diving off were fishing, along with chunking and throwing live bait. It felt like putting out a salt lick and whacking Bambi.
