Thank you

Plus you have to go through the hoops of sizing the pics so you can attach them. There is no size limit if you upload to your gallery and when you post them they appear as 800x600.

Thanks guys I appreciate where y’all are coming from but, I’m the kinda guy that’s just gonna send it! FINALLY got my leaning post livewell on Friday..... that’s another story, but got a lot of other stuff done. Got about 80 percent of electrical done, installed the leaning post livewell, speakers and amp installed (sounds amazing as s$&@) and some miscellaneous stuff, oh and the rub rail installed after a trip to Marine Surplus! Still gotta get the bottom of the boat done and finish up my hatches! Glade she is coming together!

Also got the 3rd coat of paint on by the way!

Got the ol’girl back on the trailer yesterday and the Zuke 175  mounted on and running. Lots of miscellaneous stuff to get done, little bit of plumbing in bilge, finish up front hatches, put the T-top on, adjust trailer and other small stuff. She is coming along nicely!!

Looks great

HI,  the 22 looks great!  I have the same livewell but bought it used and never knew who made it. After seeing your clear lid and how nice it looks, Could you share the manufacturer's name? Thanks.
Oh and do you have any engine, speed, rpm data to share with the group?

The Livewell leaning post is made and sold by C&M marine in lake placid FL, they have a website with lots of products. Have not had the chance to run her yet, still taking care of odds and ends and trailer stuff, trim tabs, powerpoles and the such and gotta mount the T-Top but not sure ill have it mounted before I run her. Planned on trying to get out on the water this weekend, but I do not think the weather is gonna let me. We will see, sometime in the next week for sure she will be on the the water for a good cruise run. But she is coming along and I am getting swamped with overtime at work right now so that's also slowing me way down. Only been able to work on it here and there.

Her current state while I take care of odds and ends. Picture is before I got her straightened out on the trailer and started the trailer work, so dont mind the unevenness.

Looking good! No more pulling it all the way under the tent now!

Is that a different lower unit?

[Sambam430]

yeah, my old one met an untimely demise in Steinhatchee LOL. Company made a mistake and sent me the wrong color, so they hooked it up and gave me a discount, so it all worked out. Only got about 8 hours on it so she isn't fully broke in yet.

Hello all! Before I start, I just wanna thank everyone on here again with all the posts and advice that has been shared over the years! FINALLY had a break in the weather and the second half of the day turned out fantastic so I put her in the water for her...... I guess second maiden voyage!!!!! She rode like a dream without even using the trim tabs! Ended up being a great ride in the afternoon. Loved every second of it! I’ll fill everyone in on rpm’s and stuff when I can, my Suzuki Multi-function gauge took a dump so I couldn’t know my RPM’s. Still gotta put the T-top on but I just had to get her in the water!
