That Boston Whaler gonna look real small under that massive T-Top!!
The heat must be messing with you! LOL I think it looks good on this 19' boat, better than the old bimini/frame does. A lot of Boston Whalers pictured in the Stryker photo library. Same boat, same T-top.

Not a bad view from work yesterday. Installing some cabinetry in a home on the "other side" of the Utah Lake in Saratoga Springs.

I like how the frame gives some lift to the canvas on top…that’ll keep the rain from pooling up there then running off on yiu when you least expect it.

i like the pic of the yamaha.… clamp on outriggers, nice.

It is well built. It does have bows to keep the canvas up. It also comes with mounting plates for radar, lights, antenna, etc.

Took this picture a couple of blocks from my office at 7 am. It appeared that they were hauling heavy machinery. Nobody was injured but I feel bad for the outfit that was expecting some new equipment. They probably ordered it 18-36 months ago and I am sure it was totaled.

I set the T-top in place last night with the forks on the tractor. Drilling 16 screw holes in the boat this morning and using 3m 5200 to seal holes and keep it in place. Then I will install the rest of the bimini frame aft.

Ripping out the old electronics network this morning and test fitting the Lowrance Elite FS 9. Compass light and Perko dc outlet never connected.

It’s funny what you find sometimes when you tear out someone else’s work. Yup, it is the 12vdc switch for the chart plotter/fish finder. I will replace that with something more marine like.

I still need to mount the transducer, but the wife wanted to play with/program it, while I am working in the field.

Mornin all

Had a great weekend in the pool & on the boat only to have a chity Monday morning. 5:20am we had someone run the stop sign, fly 42’, land in the yard still on the gas and crash into our barn 150’ away from the road. Destroyed most of the barn that’s attached to the shop. Ripped out the electric meter and wiring out of the generator and lord know whatever else is messed up. Just finally got power restored to the house and able to keep the electric fence hot & water to the cattle. Not how I wanted to start the week.

Wow so sorry to hear about this fisaco. Hard to imagine this happening in your neck of the woods. Almost a daily occurrence here in the QC.

Momma wants her some ribs, so ribs we shall have! Timer says one hour left until they're unwrapped, sauced, and cooked until finished.

Other ways are better to me, but I've had a lot harder weekend than to deal with babysitting ribs. 3-2-1 for the lazy man's win. Harry Woo's temps, my own rub creation

Couldn't add the finishing pics yesterday, for some reason. Dinner was awesome!
