    New Trim Tank...can serve as BBQ Pit.

    Finally got into the running season! Damn you COVID-19!! (Shakes fist uselessly and for no real reason)

    I also realized in making this clip that it's my 25th Anniversary with this boat. YES!!!

      That ^^^ is how you get the natural scum line going.

      My neighbor's pond looks just like that... makes running underwater that much more exciting...

      And may I compliment you on the design of your trim tank... I tried the same thing but only one layer of brick deep.. I thought it would be enough.. and i had to move the bricks back where they came from!

        For the record, a "Coney Island Silver fish" was spotted floating nearby. Doubt they end up in your neighbors pond, at least you hope not! But heck, it's 'merica!

        Who am I to judge?

        NY'ers, ain't we a hoot!!

            I thought the crew had the flu and all went topside to puke. How goes it, Ed?
