I stopped by OEX today to buy a few things and take some measurements on a Stealth 14. I'm just getting ready for the modifications that I need to make on the new yak. I've got just about everything I'll need to get the job done. Aside from the electrical system, the biggest headache will be fabricating a wet well for the sonar transducer. I am going to make the well out of clear Lexan and aluminum angle. Trying to get the bottom contour for the well is going to be the most challenging part of the process. Without a belt sander this process will take some time.
With any luck, the rain will clear out this weekend and I can get the kayak leak checked. I should be able to get the rest of the work done next week. I hope to get everything done in time for the next full moon (1-30-10). Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to start fishing then.
I swung by La Jolla today to have a look. Glad I wasn't fishing in this. Total 'Victory at Sea' out there today.
