    Psych,

    Where are you at? On the Island, or landlocked?

    :)

    Sorry I am trying to get a boat out my yard that has become an Albatross. Was a one day deck delamintation repair and has since become a split hull and complete hull re-gelcoat. Don't make any money on this type of never ending repair and customer is complaining.

    Will tackle the leak detector project this weekend.

    The having to wait 24 hours for uploaded pic approval on this board is a real pain, I normally throw up some pics and write around them, now I have to upload the pics then wait until they are approved then write them up :(

    I'd like to get in on this. The $300 unit I had no longer works and it was limited in range. I jerked on the cord once, big rip off.
