I'm jealous of your dads tools.

I know right! He has the tools to do everything correctly while i am over here using a putty knife and a dremel haha.

Mike Heying 🤣🤣 yeah dude I know how that goes sometimes. I would love to have a Bridgeport mill or something similar. And a lathe. I feel like loads of problems can be solved with those two items.

you need to build a tubular reverse bucket . the plastic one is a down blast that will wash rocks into the intake. you need side discharhe u shaped to wash water more out both sides.

[@zjones69zane31]

out both sides which happens to send water into the back of the hull which makes your reverse useless you rarely use reverse in shallow water anyway

[@AnthonyWebb7]

I am curious if you ended up keeping your reverse bucket or switching it out?

Your dads shop

the fuel line problem is not from fumes it is because of alcohol fuel expanding in the non braided line and causing a mist spraying leak and blowing up:)

[@freedommonger4512]

you need to use a stainless braided fuel line ir you will have a fire ball fuel explosion, it is just a matter of time and pressure.......

Thanks for the advice! I will look into some braided lines when I get near the hatch build. Not too concerned with the fumes, I plan to have some good air flow and a blower setup.
