Glen-L Boat Builder Gathering - September 25-26 2010, Lake Nickajack, Tennessee The Gathering is a get together of boat builders, family and friends organized by Glen-L builders. The Hot Rod made the trip again this year.
After scouring the want ads for several months, we found a used Palomino pop-up truck camper for a reasonable
price. The passenger-side box wing was replaced with a new fiberglass-laminated plywood panel and the
driver-side box wing was reinforced with fiberglass cloth and aluminum plates to support the camper tie-down
straps. The original two-way refrigerator was upgraded to a new three-way unit (propane, 12 volt DC and
120 volt AC). The camper and tow vehicle's wiring were also redone.
We didn't have enough time to get the boat ready before we left for Tennessee, so we finished up the wiring, fuel lines
and exhaust hoses before launching the boat on the Thursday afternoon.
The boat ran great and the new propeller is a big improvement over the prop we ran last year !
