Tool kit

[KAP]

My tool box is a constant evolution. It consists of everything I desperately needed before but didn't have when something happened and, it evolves every time something new happens.

My most important tool these days is a floating GPS to mark precisely where the boat went down, since I have a Hallett flat at the bottom of Powell and we couldn't find it, even with hired divers. It also provides proof of speed for the doubting clowns that can, and do exist.

If the boat goes down Doc that will be the least of my worries i.e...trying to find it. That is the job for the insurance company...they just need to have the right address for where they mail the check too.

As far as tool kit:

I'm working on it while some people make dinner plans. You think I would get at least an invite for beverages and discussion.

I will have one here pretty quick and probably will share via video what is in it.

Or I could do a call out thread and have 10 pages of replies and lines of takers....laughing...but probably true.

My 2 cents... Spend $20-$40 bucks on a radio shack DVM (digital volt meter) and read the manual, get familair with checking the basics... I rarely travel without mine ( I have a $250 Fluke TRUE RMS meter )...

But I just finished this boat up with a fresh BBC, brand new Menkens Stainless Steel prop that worked beautifully on that thing, all stainless tanks, hardware, etc. My wife just upholstered the boat to match the candy paint striping to boot. I wanted all that stuff back because we continue to build boats around here and that stuff wasn't cheap!

We didn't sink it. It just broke a prop shaft coupler and we were kicking it in when a family in a tuna boat blew by at top speed (about 20) throwing a two foot wave into it without ever knowing anything happened as they drove off into the sunset. If ignorance is bliss, that was one blissful family, indeed.
