Rich - I fish different spots spread from the tailwaters below old hickory all the way up to defeated creak on cordell hull. If I told you more details than that I'd have to hunt you down! :twisted:

Aside from a few details like a vinyl snap-in cover that needs to be sewn for the gas tank/battery compartment under the splash-well and some hatch lid pulls, my re-build is completed. I added about 50 additional photos to the album you can access here. https://goo.gl/photos/7KKadFCFsfcLS78RA In...

For all practical purposes, the boat is done. I'll upload some pictures later today. My camera battery was dead last night. I finished it last night after work. I was super excited and my 6 year old was too. We threw the life-jackets, paddle, and fire-ext into the boat along with my son's new...

Almost there....

Very cool! Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

Progress has been slow but I picked it back up this week. All of the deck pieces and framing are are cut, bathed in 2 coats of epoxy resin, painted the sides that aren't wrapped in flooring material, and fully installed into the boat. Tomorrow will involve installing the vinyl onto the aluminum...

Nice job with the framing and paint! Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

Couple updated pix. Floor is done and fully installed. Finalizing the deck layout and hatch sizing/holes before episodes dying and covering the deck pieces. And my buddy sends me this today. Gotta get the boat done quickly! Sent from my KFSOWI using Tapatalk

Thank you all for the encouraging words! I didn't get any work done last night. I was exhausted and crashed after putting the kids to bed. I have plans tonight too but Wednesday, I hope to finish installing the base layer of floor and start working on the deck, console, and re-wiring.

Percy Priest is the lake I fish most often. It is an excellent Hybrid "Cherokee" Bass lake and it's where I was taught how to fish for those suckers. With the exception of Late October - the end of December, Hybrids are pretty predictable on Priest. It's where I go for quantity. The Hybrids are...

Hi riverrat. I have a very old 30 gal blue water tank. It is almost identical to the Ron vest super bait tank 2 with a gravity based filter system. It works great... BUT.... the older ones were built with non uv resistant plastic. Mine is literally falling apart. The outer layer of plastic has...

Getting there.. SLOWLY. Here are a couple pix. Several more have been uploaded to the album you can access via the link in my original post. I pre-drilled all of the holes in the wood slightly larger than my rivets, then put two coats of epoxy on all sides of every pieve. Then I sanded the top...

Coat it? I decided to re seal the seams inside the boat while I have it apart. I used coat it. I ground out the seams inside with a drill and wire brush then applied the stuff. I didn't use naval jelly per the instructions because the bottle of naval jelly specifically says not to use it on...

Started epoxy coating the bottoms of the deck pieces after work tonight. I pre-drilled all of my rivet holes so expoxy would flow down into the holes and water-proof them too. Couple pix.

Sounds like fun to me. Let me know if and when. I am always up for meeting other fisherman and would love to give Dale hollow a try.

LVMark - I haven't fished Dale Hollow but I know the BEST resource for you if you're wanting to learn that Lake. His name is Dave. His information can be found at www.dalehollowdave.com I've driven around that lake for work and it is beautiful. From what I understand it is a very deep clear...

Made some progress after church today. Here is the last photo. I updated about 35 pix to the album you can acess from the original link/post of this thread. Trying to decide the cleanest and most efficient way to plumb the water in/out of the bait tank. Any thoughts? I found an old junk bass...

Thanks Rich. I've been working out of town all week but got home today. After I put the kiddos to bed and spent time with the family I went to the garage and finished cutting and routing the replacement floor pieces. And... My new vinyl floor material, epoxy resin, and seat base came today. The...

Worked on the boat for a couple hours Sunday after church. Picked up the plywood, cut the first 2 pieces, and used the old 3rd piece to make a template for the bait tank to be incorporated. Photos are updated on the original link. Purchased the carpet, glue, and 2 gallons of expoxy. On that...
