Feb 27^th, 2014 at 8:35am Hey guys, Last weekend was the first really great boating weekend of the year. Did anyone else get out and enjoy it? Took mine out and got in a good little run with In2deep. Good to see the Nordic on the move! Sounding great. This weekend is looking just as good!

Reply #6 - Feb 27^th, 2014 at 7:38pm I wish I could but my dad said that he doesn't trust my welds and wants to do it. I asked him, so I can weld all day long on a race car but I can't touch the pontoon. he said you were the only one in the race car, we are all on the boat.

Aluminum is a whole another animal compared to metal. Neither one of use have welded aluminum so I am trying to talk him into getting one of your family friends that is a certified welder to do the job. I guess I will have to wait and see. I may have to go get my little fishing boat and work on it or our 1966 ford fairlane that we started making into a drag car.
