Yesterday I got the boat out of the garage after my dad took some time to clean the whole thing up. It is looking good if I do say so myself. Today my brother-in-law and I finished up a lot of the wiring, including my Bluewater LEDs on the deck and in the rear compartment. Not a lot of work...

Hmm.... now you have my regretting the money spent on marine grade. Oh well if it lasts a long time I will be happy.

nice fish man

Some are attached to the cross ribs, others are welded. Post some pictures of your boat so we can help you better.

Not sure how I missed this build, but you did a great job. Excellent craftmanship there. Simply awesome, everything you need and then some in a 14 footer.

It has been quite some time since I have done any significant work on the boat. My weekends have been booked with UVA football games, a Saints-Panthers game and some family stuff. Hopefully now I can put the finishing touches on the boat and get it out of the garage. All I have done recently...

If you can afford it, or have a scrapyard close by, look into aluminum for your decking. Lighter, stronger and will last forever. Scrapyards can have some great stuff if you just look around a little bit.

There is no way that I would take a 12 footer into the ocean. Not very stable, too small for that application.

hmmm...Member Karma?? maybe one day

It just takes some time. I started with the tension knob almost completely tightened down and the magnetic braking at the highest number. You'll get the hang of it.

Its probably best to rough it up some.

I drink a few while out on the water. Probably never more than 4 or 5 over the course of the day, and have been known to open one well before noon...if I'm going to be out there all day what does time matter??

are you adjusting the braking system on the left side of the reel or the tension knob on the same side of the reel as the drag and handle?

I plan on getting an extension handle for my tiller, so that I can sit on the front of the livewell while running. Glad to see I could help you out with your build.

Looks great man

I'll play again. Hoping I don't have to pay 16 bucks to ship it this time.

I am pretty sure we are used the same carpet from Lowes. And yes, make sure the grain is in the same direction. I had to redo a hatch because I forgot to pay attention to that detail.

great deal, wish I could afford it.

good thing it wasn't on the driver side...you may be feeling a bit worse today.
