The freedom one boat that flipped is back! I'm thinking it's going to get fixed

That looked so damn bad in the video, that's amazing it is repairable.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this? I've been trying to figure out if I should pay a pro, or attempt it myself. The boat isn't worth much, so I have been leaning toward attempting it, I've heard there is a good shop in Bay City, but keep stalling on getting a quote.

 

20 bucks an hour for 40 hours a week is 120 a week take home?

Okie dokie then, I'm out lol, we're on different planets obviously.

My fiberglass knowledge is still fairly limited....I do all the mechanical stuff

Nope fucked up my math very badly in a hurry LOL I calculated a day and mid math forgot to calculate the week.

Even $600/week $2400/ month.

Power bill on the low end $175
Fuel $150+/month
Rent $800 (lucky to find that) close to $1200-1400 on the low end now
Benefits assuming they are offered $200
Car insurance PLPD $75-85


That's $1400/month of the $2400 without even food, savings, emergency, renters/house insurance or even being able to do anything but sustain yourself.

 

So glad my hiring days are over. Countless ghostings for interviews, and the ones that did show up were just on the edge of not being hired due to poor driving records. You want to be a mechanic? Can’t have pages of driving infractions including DUIs.

The space for arrests and convictions is left blank. Pull the guy in the office with the chief and HRO and ask him “what about the four DUI and the stolen car?”
Oh, that? I was just hoping nobody would find out.

If you don't care to re-gelcoat it, just use marinetex

 

The Little Man and I got into the Gills on Saturday in a big way, we limited out in about an hour and 45 minutes It took us longer to clean them. It was so much fun pulling in one after another.

I keep debating whether I want to restore it or not, I don't need the project, and I'd have to pay to have it done. It's a pretty boat though if I could make it shine.

I did not realize they ride like a damn tri-hull though. I've been tempted to sell for something different already.

 

Rented a side by side on vacation, had so much fun, we bought one lol.

Headed back to pick it up Friday.

 

Nice trip, good weather in the Keweenaw this weekend.

When the side by side is muddy you know it was good.

 

Shea took the Top Gun award last night at the trap banquet for the high school JV team and Colt took the Reserve Top Gun, they had the highest season averages on the team. Both of my kids are still in Middle school but they compete on the high school team. Nice when my 8th and 6th grade kids show up the other high schoolers, Proud Dad moment

If you actually use them they are junk from my understanding. I wish I had bought the one from my local town though, it sold at auction for $8500 and was in perfect shape. For that price I could have ditched the loader. They are a BITCH to work on. Source: My BIL worked on them in the military.

 

So after Practicing at 30, 40, 50, and 60 yards last night This little shit said " Dad I will bet I can stick one at 70 yards "

Well shit that arrow cost me 20 bucks
