The tin will be finished tonight.

Here is the list after the tin is done:

1) Figure out the linkage between the throttle forward reverse and get it working.
2) build out the kitchen
3) build the shooting windows
4) add in the receivers for the swivel shooting chairs
5) goatwire the outside of the blind to hold the camo vegetation
6) go shoot teal birds somewhere on public

Even got a project plan. So if we saw the original project plan, I guess the crapper was at the top. Lol.

Well be it this boat was built so I can take my wife out hunting more often and stay longer, the boat was built under the crapper so to speak. Oh my God we mentioned the crapper. Now all the internet game warden/environmental/coast guarders ect. police are going to come back for round two of the 'you better not' phrases.

If bacon wrapped duck, dove and deer grilled on mesquite is organic, then I am good to go.

I live a mile off of a Farm to Market road. There isn't a whole lot of traffic on it at all, to the tune of maybe a car every 15 20 minutes on a busy day. I think I am just going to go for broke and lay all my chips on red or black. I am going to get out on the FM road and stick the pedal to the floor on the old Excursion. I will take it up to 75 or 80 and see what happens. If it stays it stays, if it rips off then it rips off. My concern is not if it stays on or not. My concern is making sure it will stays on for the sole reason is the safety of others on the highway.

If it holds together then I will probably implement the same extra safety feature I use when transporting my flatbed trailer blind. I use a big three in yellow tie down strap from the front over the top to the rear. I hook to the frame of the trailer, up and over to the rear and hook back to the frame again.

Sounds like a solid plan.

Can't imagine a better way to build it other than maybe cattle panel but then it'd be a lot of work brushing in before each hunt.

Coming along nicely!! up

I would much rather have made it out of cow panel. Had been able to I would have finsihed already. I want to be dry and warm. Without those two factors my wife will give the old "Well what do you think honey"? That translates into "I am cold and my arse is wet, I am done". This way all points are covered, food,coffee,crapper, bed and warmth.

When testing, I would slowly increase your speed and observe, you see an area coming loose, shut her down, reinforce that area, then test again.

Be sure to test the crapper going down the highway...

Why do you insist on destruction? Didn't you learn your lesson driving air boat in front yard and blowing over barn? All this destruction is not necessary, but is entertaining.... lol35

I would not call it destrcution, especially right now as it is still in one piece. The test is a go for broke, bet the whole farm, lay it all on red, arrogant type of test. That means I am so confident in my engineering, I am either going to win big or fail big. I cant take the pu@@¥ way out. Its the whole steaming plate of enchiladas or nothing.😎

Balls to the wall would lend one to believe it had something to do with the male anatomy. Well it doesn't. It was derived from WW2 pilots. The throttle levers had plastic balls on their tops, fashioned as sort of a handle. When at full throttle the handles/ balls were up against the instrument panel/ wall. So when going all out the expression "Balls to the wall" was born. It means give it all you got. So when we go on a test run it will be a "Balls to the wall" test. It will either survive the fire or we are going to burn that sombeach all the way to the ground.
