Sadly disappointing :cry: It ran, but kept leaking gas. We tried a carb. kit, but it still didn't work. I will be trying to sell it for parts when I get a chance.

Thanks! The steelflex cost me about $60.00 including shipping... but it was worth it. I would actually like to buy some more and use it on my trailer. I placed a front bow light and then the other two led/red lights I placed on the outer wall, inside the boat, on the front storage compartment...

So I took it out on the water today and everything went great. The trolling motor was MORE than enough power to pull me around the lake. I caught some small blue gill, but that's about it. I did witness, however, a man fishing from the bank pull in a 5.2 Large mouth bass! I was a nice catch...

Well... I finished it. I have a trolling motor, fish finder, marine battery, and 3 LED lights up front, a storage compartment in the middle, and a control panel and a marine battery in the back. I am getting my motor fixed up, but I went ahead and did a full water test on it this weekend. I (220...

Thanks man! I can't wait

I would suggest drilling out your middle seat rivets and replace the holes with pop rivets coated in marine seal (5200). My suggestion is to replace your middle seat with one of your other seats and keep your live well. That would require drilling out two seats, but in the end you still have...

So I got the steelflex on. It was fun putting it on! I went ahead and bought the super slick. I know my boat is not worth it, but I wanted to just get it over with in one layer, rather than the doing it twice. I think it turned out nicely. It says it's supposed to cure in four days. During that...

After putting a second coat of paint on it, I carpeted all the pieces and placed them in the boat for a ruff fit. The mistake I made was that I didn't account for the carpet when I cut the wood pieces. It worked out, but I had to recut the lids to my dry storage to make them properly fit. Here...

After paiting on the primer I put the first coat of Paint (safety red) on this afternoon. Tomorrow I will put the second coat on and then I should be ready for the steelflex on the bottom (black). Looking foward to getting it done. During my wait for the steelflex, I plan on carpeting my wood...

I primed the boat with some self-etching primer. I put two good coats on the places that will be exposed. I chose a red paint to finish with. Hopefully, I will get to this tomorrow.

I am going to turn it into a small 2 man fishing boat it will be Red and black, fish finder, hand trolling motor, and two seats. There will be a 7hp outboard on the back. It will have three dry storage areas. Everything will be covered in grey outdoor carpet from Lowes. Hopefully everything...

As far as weight is concerned, this is not a big deep boat, so I must be very aware of what I put into the boat. So, naturally, I decided to cover the whole boat with wood and storage. This is what I have decided to do. I am going to make all parts removable. If I find myself A) to heavy for the...

I literally found myself just standing in my garage... staring at my boat! No wonder this process takes so long! I have to keep telling myself to work without day dreaming about getting her in the water! My plans are to use steelflex for the bottom (Black - ordered it today), a red coat for the...
