Kcatto & Gill thanks for the Props! Kcatto, The tank is a 12 gal Moeller brand.. just serch for em on the web. I got that one off Ebay. The tray and the fill cap i got at a local boat store. I'm going to go ahead and make a disclaimer here. A lot of the stuff I have for this boat was bought...

OK Huge post incoming, lot's of pictures. I was super productive today, I decided to get that fuel tank situation figured out. After looking at it for a good long while I realized that I did need to turn the fuel tank around so that the pick up was facing the rear. After that was done I...

Thanks for the Encouragement Ben, Here's the answers to your questions.. how did you end up cutting through the foam so straight? or is it a little messy Actually I just got lucky! The vertical piece of foam was in there cut like that already. It just so happens that the place i decided to...

Got a few more things done over the last couple of days. Since the test run indicated an acute lack of weight up in the front of the boat We've decided to place the fuel tank up there. I've got a flat 12 Gal tank that will fit right in front of the livewell. This puts weight up front and...

Took her out for the shake down cruise today. Learned some things in the process. 1. The motor won't idle right, I tried to adjust it out on the water and couldn't ever get it to run smooth so It's going to have to go to the shop for a tune up. I need someone who know's what they are doing...

Ok it cooled down enough for me to get out there and do the third seat mount. The other two were done this way I didn't document those so this time I went ahead and took pictures of how I braced up the underside of the bench seat. The bench is only .08 inch thick so any screws you put in it to...

Last two day's have been busy. I got the back hatch/deck area mocked up and built. The only thing not done is the hinge which i'm waiting to install after i do the carpet. Blue painters tape made for a nice hinge stand in just to test it out. We also got two of the seat mounts installed and...

This is just super impressive dude. Great work! Being a former Navy guy I'm really digging that digital camo job you did on that boat, Sharp.

This looks really great dude. I like how you did the Nav Lights. I've already got a bow light for mine in the package but I may rethink that and go with something like you've got going on there. Nice work!

Got the rod locker area built today. If your wondering why i just didn't go ahead and take out the center bench all together there is a reason. The livewell is already located there and Its got a thru hull open to the bottom of the boat and i really didn't feel like messing with it or moving...

Started framing out the front casting deck / storage area. Was pretty busy on it the last two days but didn't get as much done as I would have liked... football started today so I was parked on the couch for a while. I don't want to attach to the hull anywhere cause I don't have any solid...

Alright.. been a few days. I got the touch ups done and then shot a couple of coats of clear over the whole boat. Then we put a nice coat of marine wax on it and got it flipped over and back on the trailer. Now its time to start working on all the mods to the interior. Enjoy the pics. All...

So the boat is finished being painted.. sort of. I got the last coat of white on this morning and just went out and peeled all the masking and paper off. There is a bit of overspray here and there and i'm going to have to do some touching up but I'm super happy with how it turned out.. here's...

Pic Update. Got it taped up a second time.. Action shot of the main color going on.. Looking at a paint time of about 4 days. After this first coat dries i'll sand it all smooth tomorrow morning and shoot it again. I'm planing on 4 coats total for the bottom so I should be able to flip...

Update, Yesterday I put on the third and last coat of yellow and this morning moved on to Tape'n and shooting the next color. Here's the pic's. Tape in place. I really wanted to go for more of a rounded look.. but none of the auto part stores had the nylon tape for making curves.. oh well it...

They sell safety tape at Lowes and Home Depot. Its the good non skid type, that would work for you and you wouldn't have to look at flowers or starfish on your aluminum deck.. of course starfish and sea horses might be kinda cool.

Got some more pics for yall. It's of paint.. nothing exciting yet but I'm gona kind of use this as my personal progress log so you guy's get to see everything, lucky you! Anyhow, waited the 24 hour dry time on the paint. Got out there this morning and sanded it down with a 320 sponge then...

There's a 20HP Merc 4 stroke under one of the blankets in the background.

Ok first shot of color added. Now for the 24 hour dry time wait before i can sand and shoot some more... this is gonna take a while.

Hey Tin Boaters, Picked up a new project boat to fix up, my brother in laws dad needed some cash to get his AC fixed and let this one go for a steal. We decided to fix her up for a river/lake boat in Central Florida. The brother in law has a nice bay boat we use for the gulf when we...
