The new crabbing rig project
« on: July 14, 2013, 10:16:30 PM »
Here's the new crabbing rig as it sits right now.  A little patch work, a little primer, a little paint, and we'll be off to the races.  There's a 10hp motor being worked on to fit on it and I'm probably going to look for a cheap trailer for it but for now, it fits (sort of) in the back of the truck.

You can see in this pic, there's a bit of primer around the edge already

It's under my oldest's control.  He "Paid for it" with his birthday money (which grandpa will give back at a later time) so technically, he owns it, even though it was given to us.  He's picked Battleship Gray for the hull with a white interior for the color

My oldest wanted one badly enough he was willing to put up his birthday money.  I was going to buy one off of here and was talking to my dad and he said we could have his (this one).  To foster the ownership and caring for what you own, we made my "son pay for it". :chuckle:

With my dad's 25 year old minn kota, we were probably going 5-7mph with 2 adults, a 130lbs kid and 2 60lb kids.

What's wrong with the 10hp?

Not sure.  It hasn't seen the water in about 20 years.  My dad's working on it.  He replaced the carb a few years ago but thinks the float is sticking.  He'll get it.  He's one of those "Fix anything with a crescent wrench" kid of guys.  Give him some duct tape, a crescent wrench, JB Weld and some zip ties and he'll build the Taj Mahal in a month
