A couple of projects

[Sleigher]

Hi All,
I've been working on my project boat for over a year now.
I installed a new bait tank It's an Offshore split tank 95 gallon.
I also installed an EZ Anchor #12.
I need to take the boat out into deep water and drop the entire rode straight down and put it back on under a little weight. I bought 300' of 1/2 Mega Plait and I also plan on running 30' of chain. Right now it looks like I might have to cut off some of the rope.
I'm still a ways off on completion. I pulled the injectors last weekend and I need to clean up the wiring and hoses.
I also plan on adding rail around the pulpit and more rod holders. I'm also thinking about a stainless swim step. Where else can you put fish on this boat?
Well, I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out how to make the pictures small enough to upload and couldn't figure it out. Imac?
I'll try again tomorrow.
I have to go do the brakes on my wife's car.

As you may have noticed, the forum software has been upgraded to support the attachment of pictures to forum posts. This means that all registered users can now upload their pictures directly to the Classic Parker website, without having to upload them onto another server first.

Attaching pictures to your post is a very straightforward process. There is an "Add an Attachment" section below the main window where you enter your post or reply. Click on the "Browse" button to search for the file you wish to attach, enter a short description in the "File Comment" section, and then click on "Add Attachment". Once your file has been uploaded you can then add another attachment or Preview/Submit your message.

At the current time, the maximum file size for an attachment is 256KB. The maximum image size for an attachment is 800x800 pixels. We will try these settings for a while and adjust as necessary.

As an FYI, Microsoft offers a free image resizing tool for Windows XP that makes it extremely easy to resize your images and drastically reduce the size of the file at the same time.

The photo RESIZING software can be downloaded at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... ySetup.exe

Once this software is installed, you can right click on any image file in a File Explorer window and one of the menu choices will be "Resize Pictures". Choose the "SMALL" or "MEDIUM" size and the program will quickly resize the picture for you. Note that a new smaller file is created with (Small) or (Medium) in the filename when you resize, so your original files aren't modified.

Please use this tool to help shrink your image files, even if they are already the right size. There is a lot of extra 'stuff' in a standard image file that isn't necessary for pictures that are just going to be viewed over the web, and creating smaller files makes it that much easier and faster for others to view them.

Please DO NOT post your pictures here and link to them in other forums! There are plenty of free picture hosting sites out there, and Classic Parker is not one of them Smile

Please let me know if you have any questions!

If you are using an iMac running OS-X, download GraphicConverter.

You can resize images easily for posting, and a whole lot more!

Let's see if this works. If it does, thanks Kevin. Do I have to eventually pay for that program?

That Pulpit is hardcore!!!!!

Any other shots of that? Nice job!

Those EZ Anchor Pullers are beasts.
Once you let all that line out and retreive it, you should be able to wind the chain on too.

Here's a profile shot.
One of my projects is extending the rail out and around the pupit.
I've also replaced the nav lights with LED units.
This shot is in the Keys where the boat came from.

Every yeay i would take my line out in street take off anchor and un twist

then i would put a big as 50 gallon trash can "NEW" no leaks and fill with fresh water and a few ounces of downy fabric softner and soak line in can over night then wind it up out of the can......worked well u will need someone to keep line taught 10 minutes.....
