thanks for the help! I got it to work!

for any one reading that had the same questions I did. All I did was touch the battery circuit to the ground. Easy as pie

upspirate, the link you added doesn't seem to work for me :( The motor I am using now is a 35 hp johnson. no need to tell me: I know I'm over powering this boat severely...but I got a great deal on it so until I get the funds this is what I have. This also explains why I refuse to put the boat in th...

Ok I am almost ready to launch my Pickle Fork and I have decided that before I put it in the water I will need to install a lanyard style kill switch... but I don't know how. I know its a fairly easy process but I don't know which wires to connect the kill switch to. I'm confident that there are sev...

So I screwed up my Bullet (more posts on that to come shortly) and the fixing of it is going to take quite some time and a lot of tedious things are on the list to fix. As I'm working on that I'd love to have another project that I can (hopefully) make bigger strides at completing I'm looking to bui...

where are these cracks? thats confusing because I don't believe that the epoxy should crack...not if its being used as a sealer over the wood you should have no problem sanding down and applying fiberglass. but remember fiberglass doesn't add much structural support it adds some toughness to the hul...

oh for the love of God get a table saw! if I could do anything better in my build thus far (besides taking more time with the allaround project) would be to get a table saw...its incredibly more difficult without it.

when I started building the bullet I didn't know what motor I wanted...I actually bought one and traded it for a smaller one later. You may want to know whether or not you'll have a shortshaft or longshaft before you get too far because you'll have to make a cutout in the transom for a shortshaft Co...

Hey! good to see you're comitting to the progess! I'm actually the one using 5200 (on some parts). later I switched to epoxy. I've gotten a chance to use both and both have their advantages. epoxy is stronger and sets faster but 5200 allows for you to correct mistakes and is easier to apply I'd say ...

thanks. I'll look at pictures of those. I sat down in the area I was planning on modifying...its a lot smaller than what I originally thought! I may only be able to get one seat in there. or maybe use it for storage instead

I'm thinking about adding a removable section on the deck of my bullet between frames 2 and 3 that would house a bench seat. It would be cramped but it would be nice to be able to seat another couple people if necessary. The goal would be for me to be able to replace this piece and make it look like...

glad to see you made the plunge...by not making one : ) it looks nice. you can tell you put the time into this step. keep it up and you'll have a great boat!

Oh man! look at that boat!! I'm so happy you finished it! you've been such a great help lately as I work on my bullet and I can only hope it turns out as well as yours did! these pictures will help me out incredibly in the next few weeks. I'm truly speechless as I look through these pictures and see...

could you just tape off the sides of the boat to avoid the dripping...or stain/paint the whole rail after you take it off (you have to take it off before you epoxy anyways right? I think that this would be the easiest method. its a lot easier to clean up stain off of the garage floor than off your b...

haha after this much work I'd be hard pressed to take it for anything! I'm hoping to get the majority of the sanding done tomorrow and friday. what sander did you use? I feel like a belt sander will take off way too much

I just finished the planking on my Bullet (well mostly, I need to do some sanding but all the pieces are in place and epoxied on!) Thanks largely in part to my friend Nico (who is not on this site yet but hopefully I got him hooked on building) but thanks also in part to the incredibly helpful advic...
