Here we are at the Charles Mill Lake boat launch. The Aquatron is taking on important passengers. We cruised around the 1300 acre lake 2-1/2 times in the course of 4 hours logging nearly 20 miles. It reached 91 degrees but cruising at 5.2 mph gave sufficient breeze. (the fat guy with the wide brimme...

Yea! I like the book rack idea. If I am ever allowed to build a Bo-jest it's going to have a book rack too!

I will have all the touch ups below the water line done. Scraping bottom is the price I pay for being adventurous. (I think that perhaps is the reason for the oak shoe on the skeg)
I wanted to get the boat in the water anyway - It's been over 6 months on dry land.

Oh the decisions. It is Memorial Day weekend. Do I work some more on the boat or do we put in the water. I was kinda thinking of working on some of those things I just haven't finished up until.....The phone rings and Wayne asks, Are you putting the boat in Monday? Well there will be other days to w...

Welcome to the forum Hogwild.
Look forward to seeing your photos. Always good to have another ampeater in the ranks.

Hogwild,

Congratulations on your AmpEater build. If you get a chance, post a couple of pics of your Ampeater and motor setup. There are quite a few who would be interested in seeing it.

Yes, The Waterlodge would be much easier and probably quicker to build. Has any one ever built one? I cant' find any pictures.

Chug,

It's looking good. Watching your progress has kept the Bo-jest near the top of the list of my next boat to build.
Getting your HIN# means the splash date is close at hand!

Matt, Nice job.

Yeah! Hard not to make motor noises as you picture yourself behind the helm.
Lots of excitement as it is coming together
Looking forward to seeing you on the trip to Chattanooga on Friday!

Mike,
The shirt design looks great!

Melissa and I Just booked a floating cabin (#6) and look forward to seeing everyone in September. We plan to arrive Thurs afternoon and will stay thru Monday a.m.
It is in the mid 70's today and is making me anxious to get the amp eater out and ready to go.

I have been thinking ahead along similar lines for my next boat. I have been thinking about a Bo-jest (stretched 10%) or possibly a Hercules. Both have semi-displacement hulls that require fairly low power requirements for cruising speed. I do expect that rebuilt battery packs from electric vehicles...

We took the Aquatron out for one last cruise before cold weather sets in. It was a beautiful day in the mid 70's here in Columbus, Ohio. We had a family picnic and multiple boat rides. We put about 10 more miles on the Amp Eater. The leaves are just beginning to change on the trees and made for a sc...

We made it to the G-11 with deck and hardware installed. Hales Bar 2017.jpg While we were there my sister in law Melanie of Mel's Marine Upholstery finished my custom boat cover. Aquatron Cover.JPG We cruised around for over 30 miles this past weekend on about 4 kw of electricity. We averaged about ...

Here are are some pictures taken by my sister in law Melanie and her husband Barry of the damn rendezvous. Aquatron Parasol.JPG We met at the damn, circled about for a few minutes, snapped pictures of each other and left. Whats the Plan.JPG The large pier we were gathered near said "Arrival Point" s...
