Default Big Woody improvements

Maren and I are expecting another little one this fall so the airboat idea got scrapped for this year.

I did get this finished however. It's just an 11hp Briggs with a 36" prop. Haven't had it in the water yet, but it moves the air real nice. Thanks to Steve for helping me do a lot of it.

You did all the fun stuff before I got there. It looks great with the fan.

That would look kickass with my red halogens on it. And I have a red grill for the back.

Awesome job. Can't wait to hear how it performs. Well, that and team Rough and Rettey spankin' the Carpenders again...
The first pic makes it look like the shroud hits the outboard. You said it doesn't though???

Outboard just clears. Unfotunately I've got a bad seal in my trim cylinder, so I have to strap the outboard up. And I don't remember ever getting spanked by team Rough and Rettey!? I didn't realize you shot in anything but the family party barge division!
