Well. When she runs, she runs alright. She don't like da thick lillies all dat much. Gotta have my buddy go to the front to even da weight if both of us stuck in thick mud.
She like a woman. She always having problems. Every time you bring her somewhere. Although, every time you spend your hard earned time an money fixing da problems.
So far, I've:
Changed gas tank/ fuel line fittings
Fixed da aluminum gas tank (tried to change fitting and it broke off so I had to redrill it and get it rewelded)
Changed all da fuel lines/ fuel clamps
Changed da fuel filter
Changed da fuel bulb
Changed da fuel pump
Changed da battery
Changed spark plugs multiple times
Changed air filter multiple times
Got a new carb kit put on by godevil
Rewelded cracked muffler
Changed starter
Changed solenoid
Changed grease fitting cap
About to change seals

Bought her used from a fellow Crawfisherman who gave me a pretty good deal. Hopefully I'll eventually get everything worked out on her. Just put in a new 3/4 in plywood floor. Hoping to be able to get a 35 hp gator tail surface drive towards da end of dis upcoming crawfish season, so I can use dat da majority of crawfish season and da 20 just da last few weeks - month when da water gets really low and stuff gets really bad. I always put my phone in my drybox while crawfishing, so without dis being planned I don't have as many pictures on da water as I'd like. I'll attach da ones I do have for y'all doe. Tell me what y'all think.
