this holds true on the decking, dont go much higher then about 3 to 4 inches, she's done for the year and I dont have any finished off shots but heres a place to start. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4875

here's my daughter at one of our local ponds, I was dry docked for a while due to knee surgery but that didnt stop us from fishing all summer...you can tell this little guy's been hooked before.

I sure will, Shewsbury isnt that far at all and theres a couple nice lil ponds here tht pull some nice bass in the cooler temps, I cant wait for ice fishing this year....if we get any.

Bass Bro check my build thread https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4875 This is the stuff you want, trust me, it came recommended from a fellow TB member and it seals up the bottom water tite. It's called Fasco 9X SteelFlex

currently I dont, but I've considered somthing like I did up front just deeper, hide the battery and maybe room for a box. Thanks for the compliments guys....

Here's a couple more shots, almost done...due to the rain 2da I wont be doing much, I was able to get her back in the shed so maybe...I made a very small deck up front with storage. heres the deck done...the other peice to the left of is also removable for added storage if needed.

I actually used it on peice of plexi and painted over it in black....still holding up...no trouble.

I found the decking to actually be a little over 4 inches, I used 3/4" ply and 2x4's for the frame work, I'm going to make a storage locker under the decking for Plano Utility Tackle Boxes and such.

Sorry VC....lol heres a shot of the turf goin down, but I have a quick question...Can I deck the front about 5 to 6 inches above the floor or will it make the boat seriously unstable, usually its just me and my daughter(6) but a friend ( 185lbs) goes once and awhile? The boats 10ft.

I pick'd up some green turf 2da at the de-pot, I went this way due to expense, and it will serve my needs just fine...should have the work done ina couple days.

heres a shot of the G.Loomis.....be honest, I'll be hitting with a few more coats of paint, and Im also working on the skeleton fish as well.

thanks..the images arnt the best, I took em with my cell, Im going to some nice shots when its complete, here's a shot of somthing Im going to try and add, if I dont like it I can go right over it...hand carved a stencil.

here's a couple of updated pix....not quite done yet, I need some hardware to install the extra board on the transom so the TM doesnt vibrate like crazy, and Im looking for some rubber matting to cover the floor, I'll also be picking up some camo fabric & foam to make a little bench seat for my...
