    What great accomplishment the tank looks great, now the fun begins with anchoring the in and fill hoses and the wiring for the sending unit. Great work.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    You should get ya a quick hitch for your tractor so you don't have to mess with the 3 point and then make up a trailer hitch to fit your quick hitch to move trailers around your property with. Very very handy.

    • @shotslife
      @shotslife  Год назад

      Yes sir, I have a hitch for my tractor, just didn’t take the blade off to use it, but your right would have been easier!

  • @dennisd6527
    @dennisd6527 Год назад +1

    Tank looks great. Fits like a glove. Like you said, moving everything was the hardest part. We can now get those engines fired up.

  • @douglasthompson2740
    @douglasthompson2740 Год назад +1

    Anything in my shop is on casters. For your shelves a piece of 1 1/8" plywood (real) sub floor under the bottom gives a good stiffener and mounting surface for the casters. You can use six (four inch wheels?) for better support and heavy loads. Good to see a boat video again.

    I commented in one of your very early videos when you were first starting to work on the Grady White that I'm looking forward to the day that you catch your first fish - and I watch every episode waiting for that day. So much time and effort that has gone into the rebuild so far, simply amazing. Great work as always and thank you for making my week, every week.

    • @shotslife
      @shotslife  Год назад

      Hey Stranger, I remember that… yeah it’s been a journey for sure! Never thought it would take this long! Of course spending a year building the building really slowed me down but like I always say “we’ll figure it out”, we always do, one way or the other!

  • @Grady252

  • @TheFalcro1234
    @TheFalcro1234 Год назад +1

    It sure has been a long road to get to here. Work has been beautiful and now that the tank is in it feels like MAJOR progress was made. Of course major progress had already happened but seemed like it wasn't until the tank was set. Just me and my opinion lol I look forward to the next segment of this boat's journey back to life.

    • @shotslife
      @shotslife  Год назад +1

      Your right, something about the tank in there makes it feel like a major chapter has closed to me as well!

    Great progress! Watching you hookup your trailer was the way I did before I installed a cheap wireless backup camera on the license plate. Makes hooking up my trailers to my older truck one shot vs the backup, get out check, make adjustments, get out check, etc. Keep these awesome videos coming and congrats again on fitting the tank!

    • @shotslife
      @shotslife  Год назад

      Yeah, sooo I usually pull it with my newer Dodge, so it’s set for that and the dump truck both of which have cameras… I just got lazy and used the old truck but it actually took more work, 😂 funny how that works, but your absolutely right cameras are life savers!

    • @shotslife

      Hey brother, yeah it needed it, running the excavator in and out really brings in the dirt, seems one can never get the tracks clean no matter how hard you try! Have a great week!

    Congrats on finishing up everything in "the hole" and getting the tank in! HUGE milestones and now the end is in sight! Quick question - the rubber strips under the gas tank - were they adhered to the plywood in any way? Thanks!

    • @shotslife
      @shotslife  Год назад +1

      Hey Jim, no, the originals were just placed in there the tank smashes them down and they don’t move… it is a special kind of material though.. made for this. I’d refer you to Patriot Marine Fabrication for details.

    Thought I spent alot of time fixing my boat. Everytime my neighbor sees me working on it he always yell am spending more time fixing it than I do enjoying it on the water. Then I thought to myself the 3 years I've been working on it & grief I went thru trying to get my johnson running rite I've could of easily work overtime & bought a mint grady white.

    • @shotslife
      @shotslife  Год назад +1

      Hahahaha, yeah I have spent a lot of time on it for sure! But hey we both have nice boats in the end!

    • @mchurch3905
      @mchurch3905 Год назад +1

      Yep you could have done what your neighbor is trying to give you grief about…Instead he may be wishing he had enough patience, courage, and diligence to accomplish what he thinks he couldn’t do. The world is full of wannabes that are afraid of challenging thermselves with something new. Look at Chief Shots. He’s doing stuff he hasn’t done before, in full view of the RUclips viewers. Is he doing pretty well? Absolutely. Tell your neighbor to grow a pair and challenge himself. He may discover that reward is far better than mindless criticism…
