Persuant to Ian's request for more images of the B31 I'm working on for Patrick Hancock, here's a non-verbal image rundown on his exhaust system...

Bob,

You know how it goes. When you work alone, you figure out solutions to just about everything that will keep you from tracking down a neighbor. Mechanical Advantage is tool box necessity. Just as you did with the hydraulic jack on the windshield corner. Sure could've used one of those puppies on several occassions...

Now if I can figure a way to put these levers to useful advantage:

Naw, Hook'em Horns!

This was at my niece's rehearsal dinner in Austin year before last. My sister's husband pulled some strings and got the handlers to bring Bevo, (#7), to the shindig. Been thinkin' ever since that I might just have to fence in the rest of the property and cut a longhorn loose on it. Cool animals...

Capt Pat,

Being a Texas Tech guy, I have to say that you missed an excellent opportunity to put a slug in that cow.

Pat: You need some shift levers like that on the new Bertram overhaul! Trick my Boat!!

What's the PVC on each side, Maybe drains for the air boxes?

CaptPatrick · Post by **CaptPatrick** » Jan 15th, '09, 11:31

JP,

Yup... The side panels have a toe kick and the outboard deck joists are glassed, filled and faired to the inside of the hull. The 1 1/2" PVC pipe extends back through and dumps on what in essence is a water race. the water is kept below the top of the deck, but, for the most part, won't run into the bilge. Straight back to the scuppers...

Andre,

There's a small ranch back up the road from me that has about 20 head of 'em. Thery're all over the place out here, but most are just bred as novelties and pets.

that is exactly the way i built mine but without cockpit panels.i was told that contruction is called a " belly band" from the last stringer to inside hull wall for water to run to scuppers.is that what you call it ?

Bob,

Haven't figured what to call it. It hasn't run away yet, so it didn't make much sense to name it... ;*))
