OK, this is a 3.5/.21 OB tunnel boat but the idea here is to help show you what goes where and how to set up everything and the parts needed to do it with. You're just working on a slightly larger scale. If that neighbor is still around he should be able to get you pointed in the right direction. Really, it's a lot easy to have someone looking over your shoulder than it is to try to do things over the Internet.
