looks like we are about at the same pace on our projects. i will be done here as soon as i get plates on the trailer. congrats. hope you had as much fun as i did with mine

just as a reminder, this is what i started with. the front deck was about 18" long. now it is about 5 1/2 feet

so last year i found out i had a pretty bad leak. the flotation foam was stopping it from taking on too much water. so i bought the alumaweld rods from harbor freight. they work great. easy to use and strong as heck. i was surprised. so this is where i am at right now. she is water ready but...

okay this is pretty much everything i have done. i also purchased a 9.9. the lake i camp at has a 9.9 limit. i also installed a bilge pump and plumbed that. the radio that was in it was an old tape deck. i added a cd player with a hookup for my cell phone. i will try to put a pic of that up soon.

a few looks at the front deck

this is what it looks like installed

so i did a horrible job cutting the plywood for the bow of the boat. there was a big gap on both sides. at work i drew the bow of the boat up on 3d modeling software. then i designed this for the front and had the guys burn it out and bend it.

mostof the carpet is done

had to replace the one hatch lid

she neededd a good cleaning

okay tons of work done. she is ready for the water except for some cosmetic stuff. i used to be half owner of this boat but that wasnt very satisfying for many reasons so i bougt out my father in laws half. she got a little beat up due to a leaky roof. this is what i had to start out with this year

welllll hellllo guys. not much has happened since my last post besides a new roof, insulation, floors, and drywall. throw in a few others like a hot water tank and you will get the picture. most of that is on hold untill winter so that got me thinking boat. i only took it out the one time this...

okay im taking her to the lake tomorrow. i will bring the camera. maybe make a little video. main goal is to see how she floats. if it goes well i will try to do some fishing. wish me luck guys.

heck im 260# (give or take 20#) and mine doesnt budge. AND im on a 26" span.dont you just love this site? i wish i could quit my job and rebuild these things for a living. it is great therapy. the old boat is looking good. keep up the good work.

im falling behind i know. new job, buying a home, and 3 little girls under the age of 6, has my schedule pretty packed. i will get more pics before i start the carpet. sorry guys
