So after stripping the paint and then letting the boat sit for a month or so ( weather and laziness) I have finally started to apply the steelflex. This is definately NOT paint! It's a bit messy and hard to work with but I'm taking it slow and getting a "feel" for the stuff. It's well worth the...

Placed my order today for one gallon of steelflex and some olive drab tint. It might be here by the end of the week... Gonna start cleaning and stripping the paint tomorrow...

I just gave them some more business... I spoke w/ Jerry who was happy to give me clear cut directions on how to apply the stuff to the boat. He even said I could call with any questions. I didn't believe C.O.D. still existed :LOL2: Nice people!

This gives me a deadline to finish my boat...I'm IN!!! If that doesn't happen...I'll borrow my bro's boat See you guys there! Looking forward to meeting some of you.

Ok, thanks. I'm going to go with just steelflex if that's what the guy at fasco says to do. Following directions seems to work out well for me....who woulda thunk?

Lookin good! Colored steelflex? Awesome! Guess my question is answered. I can't wait to see it...

Awesome! Thanks for the compliments. The name will stay...so I guess that means I have to paint it green. Do you guys think a 1,000psi pressure washer will strip the paint? Or should I just go with the angle grinder setup? Too bad I don't know anyone with a sandblaster. Oh, can I prime it and...

Got the boat! Now for the fun part....Stripping paint, etc... How did you guys do those drawings?

I spent $500.00 on the canoe and probably $150.00 on accessories for it. The green thing with trailer was selling for $700.00 I'm already expecting to put $ into it. I have some materials and know people who can help/get me stuff cheap. I think the experience may be worth the investment of...

I've moved the pitures here if that's ok. I still need some input on wether it looks good enough to invest my time and money. This friday I'm meeting with the guy and possibly trading a canoe for the boat and trailer. Assuming this boat is seaworthy...Should I keep the name it was given...it's...

No motor just yet...It's going to be self propelled or I'm just going to put a couple trolling motors on. When, not if, but WHEN I do get a motor...25HP up to 40HP. Seems the old johnsons are good.

1966 Chrysler LoneStar 16' Skipper Mod-V? Did some research on the boat and it was made with foam in the floor...not sure if it should have been in the seats but I can put some in if I have to.

Ok here goes... The green hornet...LOL!!!

Fishin's great if you can get to the good spots where masses can't get to. Even the somewhat urban areas have given me quite a few 18" smallies. But, I've heard the same about Montgomery and Yorkville being super good as far as the Fox goes. I plan on getting out there this year. Still...I can't...

Carpentersville, to be exact. About 1/4 mile from the Fox river. Thanks for the welcome.
