Took a break between coats of paint to to work on a few side projects for the Huckleberry...

The first is a water cannon. Its constructed of PVC and coated with spray-on truck bed liner (the cheap type from Home Depot in a spray can). It will be powered by a raw water washdown pump using a thru-hull under the seat. I am still working out details of the mechanism for aiming the cannon, but it will likely utilize a tiller handle under the front deck.


The other addition is a trumpet style horn, which will be mounted on top of the pilot house. I am hoping to build a mechanism that allows it to be triggered via a pull cord handing from the cabin top. I really wanted the double horn, but felt 150dB was a little excessive. This one only puts out 115dB which should be more than enough to alert the neighbors!
