Alright alright welcome to the forums.

I don't know why so many guys on this forum speculate that a textured paint will add weight to the boat?!? But that is always the number one knock against applying bedliner type products to the interior of the boat. At the most you will be adding an additional 7 lbs to the boat if you use two...

10 Me and my fishing buddy. His first with a bow. 34lb Buffalo Carp My son Cade and our really awesome guide Bill Spakes My son and Bills boat. I want to do something like this to mine!

I haven't been able to work on the boat for the last two weeks. Family and other commitments. We went camping and bowfishing this weekend.

Those floors are really really great looking! I love those dudes. So for phase 3 you gotta step up and jack one out the park!!!

Glad to hear the wife is on route to recovery!

What the hell...

That is great looking.

How do I determine the size of the pop rivet needed?

I'm enjoying it. But this is my first boat as an adult. And my first restore. As a kid anytime my boat had a problem my grandpa or dad would take care of any issues. Plus the little Jon I had back then didn't even have a real power head on it. This dude has all kinds of issues. I need help...

Hey that dude will fish!

Oh man Im in!

Alright man! Good luck. Hope you post a lot.

It happens EVERYTiME I go to Bob's place. We get really side tracked. Do a lot of planning, thinking, and general jaw jacking! Man I love going to Bob's welding shop. It isn't so much a welding shop as it is a metal junk yard/ grave yard/ metal art stuff kind place. Bob is older than me. About...

Ok she is back on the trailer! Wowhoooo! I fell like something was accomplished. Also took her down to the local car wash and got rid of all the yuck in the boat. I don't have a license plate yet on the trailer and a City PD Officer followed me into the carwash. I thought I was going to get a...
