Project "A Little Snookered" New Pics 03-19-2012 !!!!!

Thanks for commenting!

As far as the build goes everytime I turned around I was adding something else. It is about 90% finished now and like I mention earlier I will post pictures as soon as mother nature allows.

The wiring oh what fun that was but turned out in the end.


The dogs, our little babies, having 4 american bulldogs all around 100lbs can be lots of fun. I would not trade them for anything my friends and protectors. I would have to say that my property is pretty well watched over.

Thanks

Mother Nature was on my side last night and I was able to get some pictures taken.

The boat is about 90% complete at this point. We just need to do the little odds and ends but they seem to be taking forever.

Enjoy the pics theres alot of them

As always questions and comments are very welcome

Ok just a few more

Very nice transformation on your build! Just a couple of questions if you don't mind.
How did you fasten the aluminum diamond plate on the outside of the hull? What did you use for the rub rail?

Thanks, and good work!
Ringo

The D-plate on the outside of the hull is a decal. (Purchased From E-Bay)

The rub rail is a garage door seal (Purchased from HomeDepot). I looked and looked for something to use and was getting really frustrated until I stumbled across this. I attached it to the aluminum rail using outdoor doubled sided tape and gorrilla glue. I attached a picture of the seal so you can see what I am talking about.

Thanks for looking and commenting!!!!

A couple of side by side before and after pics for your enjoyment.

Great job, neat layout and really nice workmanship. =D>

Thanks!!!!! lots of fun and hard work.

We have been saying the boat was made with "Blood, Sweat, and Beers"

Nice work hard to believe its the same rig you started with

Let's see some pics of them Lunker snook on it now :wink:

Thanks Loggerhead, Lunker snook is the plan a few more weekends and I will be out there hookin up.

Man! This thing is moving along quickly! It looks great. May steal a few ideas for my never ending project.

=D> =D> WOW =D> =D>

Way more than "A Little Snookered" that's one tricky beast you have there!

WOW great build! Amazing transformation. I'm doing the same type of flats conversion to my tin. Not near as far along as you though Good luck on your first trip out!

PS What part of South Fl are you in? I'm in the Tampa Bay area and looking for some good spots to fish.

Thanks (Benjineer, hyzerbomber, and RatherBFishin) for looking and commenting.

Steal as many ideas as you want if you have any questions feel free to ask.

I live in Broward County (Fort Lauderdale Area)

I just registered the trailer and boat yesterday all legal now and will be hitting the water for a test run either this or next weekend.

Congratulations on finishing a great project. Boat looks great, can't wait to see some pics of it on the water.

Thanks Ride_Klein. This weekend was going to be the water test; however the trailer had its own plans. I had replaced everything but the axle when I purchased it. Guess what broke Sunday morning when we started to leave. You got it, the axle; thankfully we were only about 100 yards from the house. So I jacked it up and put some plywood under the springs and dragged it home. So guess what I will be ordering today. You got it a new axle and two new tires and wheels just for good measure.


Well any how, I did get some night time shots of the deck lights. Enjoy and thanks for looking

No way!!! Sorry to hear it, I was looking forward to some water shots, as I'm sure you were too. Those LED's look great. Good luck with the new axle. Hopefully after that all you'll have to worry about is catching too many fish.

Hopefully I will be out this coming weekend.

I will try a get some pictures of the broken axle and the homemade plywood ski I came up with to get back in the driveway.

Wow dude, this is one sweet looking mod! Great work!

Thanks House!

Well here are a few pics from my miss hap on Sunday. 1 really broken axle and the wooden ski that enabled me to get it back home.
