Thanks Martin. More to go, but I'm close to my current goal!

Rebuilding this Power Cat was an experience I'll never forget. Or regret. You can see a pictorial history here, including videos at the end: http://www.powercatboat.com/Group/FA_14t/FA_14t01.html I didn't get it dialed in till late last year, but once I did, it's been a hoot.

Here's some good shots, stern, bow and underway.

Pretty much ready to go tomorrow, still have a few things to do that will have to get done in the morning. Took a while to figure out how to mount the propane tank, but it's done!

I never liked that location for spare tire mount.
It would make backing into a tight spot hard.
I keep the spare in the truck. The trailer isn't going anywhere without the truck, I hope.
Just me.
But I really like your propane mount.
I may try that. I don't really need two tanks.

Frank, I just love how you're working with Spot - and I hope you're enjoying it as much as I enjoy seeing her put to good camping use. :applause:
