God
Well guys, a local guy called me yesturday, he owns this V in town and does welding. He built this platform for his boat and knew I wouldnt mind having the same thing. He just got certified in diving and looks like we might be doing some swapping for dive gear for some alum. He's coming over Monday to measure it all up.
He will make the frame and I'll install it along with adding starboard as the platform. Gonna be 30 or 36" wide. Pleanty of room to board with keeping your dive gear on. Hope it have her done before the get together in June. ;)

I just hope he shows up on Monday. I nagged him all last summer for one. But again, he called me this time. So hopefully we can do a deal. ;D
 
WOW, that dude's platform looks GREAT!!...he does nice work, but it looks like the motor would HAVE to be tuned to straight position B4 tilting up...just me, but I'd avoid paintin' myself into that corner and leave center open enough for motor to go up while turned...it's gonna happen sooner or later :o ...



JMHO ;) ...
 
That will look great on your V Hammer. I agree with Reel on being able to tilt the motor in any position. A full swim platform is on my want to do list.
 
2ndchance, you have the bracket already. You just need to mount the starboard overtop the bracket and add supports on either side.
This guy...well kid better show up on MOnday. He does great work, but worried about being dependable.
He's a bit more relaxed now towards the police. A few months ago, some drug dealers from Wilm. came down with shotguns to blast away a guy who ripped them off. The drug dealers went to the wrong house and were at his house by accident. So when 5-O rolled up "us" we took them al down. He know loves teh police.  ;D  
 
LOL, that guy was crapping a brick when he seen guys walking up to his front door armed with shotguns. he was yelling to 911 to get us there quick. ;D
 
Well....its Tuesday, did he show? Does MJ Soprano need to come to Lewes and break some heads? Waaaaaaaaaaaaaasup Hammer. You know you can't leave us hanging like this. Whens the last time you posted a pic? I know I ain't seen nothing for a good 10 or 12 hours, Slacker ;D
 
Inquiring minds want to know!!

See guys if we did this to him he be here yelling and screaming at us!!
 
No, he didnt show !!! >:( >:( >:( Looks like he might be meeting MJ real soon. I called him yesturday and said he was so busy >:(. That might be true, but Hell, I live just about a mile away and in the same damm town. >:(
He now says today at 5pm. We shall see. >:(
I reread REELS thoughts about how the motor must be straight all the time. Hmmm, that could be a down fall :-/
Gonna find some cardboard today and see if I can make a template. I will let ya know if he shows today. ;)
 
oK guy, Nate the welder just left. Will start working on it next Wednesday. Decided not to swap any dive gear.
Charging me 65 bucks to to build it and I'll mount it. ;)
