My one betta is literally named “No Name” after the jellyfish in SpongeBob so I see no problem calling this guy Nameless

I’m not home at the moment but it has this style of clip. The prongs are bent out enough that it’s tight in there but it does almost seem like it’s not setting all the way. I’m not too familiar with AF trains at all so I’m not sure if it’s supposed to click in place or something or just fit snug. I’ll take a better look at it when I get the chance to see if there’s something in the way

Considering how nice it runs there’s a good chance I won’t upgrade it at all lol. Considering its age it probably would be a better idea to leave it alone.

Thank you!

My first car was a silver 02 GT manual. I miss it every day

We bought our new boat in Virginia and it took a couple months to get the registration for the boat and trailer. We just brought every document we had with us in a waterproof bag. We passed a water cop every single time we took the boat out and none of them cared at all

My 2002 eclipse gt. Learned how to drive stick in it and it was actually a pretty rare car around me (v6 and a 5 spd manual). It may have been the bastard of the eclipse family and considered a girls car but it was my first car and it got me through some of the darkest times of my life. I cried when I sold it lol and I still think about it all the time even 4 years later.

I ended up just completing the connection with a pair of tweezers and it worked! Receiver and transmitter are bound!

So I was missing something obvious lol. I’ll order one

I just looked it up and no I don’t. I just have what looks similar to a servo wire labeled bind. So do I just plug it into that?

Didn’t even notice that but you’re right. Also looks like there was some type of patch job. I feel bad. OP if you’re not looking ti completely gut a boat and rebuild everything please get rid of this boat. You’re in for a long agonizing ride even to just get rid of it. Go on the Iboats restoration forum to get an idea of what you’re going to have to commit to

That plywood on the transom that doesn’t even have both bolts going through it is making my skin crawl

I joined a coed softball league a few years ago. Our whole team was just a bunch of free agents who didn’t know anyone else on the team. We’ve all stayed together for the last 3 years and are all really good friends now

I just think they’re ugly lol but that’s pretty much it

Beautiful welcome buddy! Best color too in my biased opinion

Lucky! I was planning on going when they towed it away but work got way too busy that week and I couldn’t make it. Did you book the tour with Ryan Szimanksi?

Yeah dude you were wrong. You had someone who absolutely loved you and threw it all away because of a fragile ego

I’m not sure what’s happening but in the past 2 months I’ve seen like 10 different SRT-4s on the road by me. Bunch of decent ones on marketplace as well. They’re actually one of my favorite cars too lol

Might’ve been me lol. Were you in a Cleveland?

Look, a lot of people are saying you wasted money and this boat is a lost cause. Maybe they’re right but if it’s something you really want to do then you just gotta do it and there’s no harm in trying. I’m restoring a boat myself- a full transom, stringer, and floor job. Is it a waste of money? 100%. But it’s something I really really want to do anyway. Just make sure you do it right. Watch Friscoboater’s two full restorations on YouTube and watch jmink’s 1973 glastron restoration as well since that one is a Tri-Hull like yours. Pace yourself, budget yourself, and do it right, and have most importantly have fun with it!
