This is not a test, this is real......

My first attempt
After over a year of stagnant content, I will be making an effort to add something to the Clark Island Boat Works site every day for the next 30 days. Before I begin I should warn everyone that I have limited abilities when it comes to correct grammar and my spelling is horrible.

Anyway, at the moment we are finishing a 38' Northern Bay (the boat in the picture). When the boat is finished it will be headed to Georgia where it will be used for some serious fishing.

When dealing with a customer that lives so far from the shop I try to keep them aware of what is going on with the project. Hopefully this blog will be another way to show daily progress. I'm not sure what else to write about. Since it is my first attempt this might be good enough already. I don't subscribe to any other blogs so I'm not sure about the protocol. Truthfully I'm not sure if this is even blogging.

In closing:

Today I measured all the distances between the helm stations and the mathers control box so that I could order the correct wire lengths, I obtained information regarding the steering system and received quotes on two different systems, and tried to blog with limited success.

Feedback would be helpful, one down, 29 to go.............

What the hell is a mathers control box? I think you made that up.

I like it. Nice boats and whatnot. Could you add some humorous videos, maybe invite Dan over and hit him in the head or groin with something?

a mathers control box is the central processing station for electronic throttle and shifting controls. when using multiple stations (inside/outside/flybridge) all the controls meet up at the control box then go to the engine and transmission.
