Hi,
Not wanting to seem overly critical, but it appears you have your toliet paper roll on backwards. If you leave the seat up you might be able to hit the toliet from the cockpit. This will allow you more rod time while fishing. Why didn't I think of this?

Nice open feeling. We were disappointed to not see you in a Santa hat in this series.
Next time, before you get out the Sawzall, you might consider a solar vent.  |

Excellent thought. This could be the ultimate fighting chair for that time when you catch a fish so huge you think you might crap your pants.  _________________ Roger on Meant to be |

Tom-
That "vented head" gives new meaning to the term "airhead", and there may be more than one in that boat from time to time....

Honestly, there are two kinds of people in the world - people who know which way toilet paper is supposed to come off the roll and those who don't! |

Prop pitch...single vs twins...claw or plow...paper over the top (the wrong way) or hanging down the back like Tom has it...sounds like a new poll!
Seriously, what's going on here, Tom? Are you going to put in a big window or what?

Looks like Tom is finally rebuilding the rotted out bulkhead he talked about at the factory repair semiar. And for the record, his TP is installed backwards. _________________ "We can go over there...behind the 'little one'....."

Patty here. Okay, I can't stand it anymore. In a "regular" bathroom where steam might accumulate causing condensation on the wall, the toilet paper sticks to said condensation when installed "backward." Therefore, the proper way to install it is rolling forward. End o' discussion! |

Yes I'm going to replace the wall. The question is with what? I'm thinking of using fiberglass board. The factory has offered to make a new wall with out wood and a fiberglass shell, covering, exterior , what ever you want to call it. That would remove the chance of rot reoccurring. Now if you look in the new album titled "vented head" you will see were the wall was. Where the water was draining down from the side deck and into the fuel tank area. This is what caused both the rot and the standing water in the foam around the tanks.
I have tried several ways to correct this and I'm still not sure what the end fix will be
This piece was covering the fuel lines and was attached to the wall with caulking but still allowed water in. I was thinking of glassing a lip to over lap this cover. hoping that I could seal this area better. Well see how it turns out |
