    First trip out today and it was great. She road and drove well. Engine is strong and I had a few complements at the lake. Still have to get the seats in and next will be to make my blind for it.

    Been a little while since I updated my project. All of the interior is finished except for putting 2 pulls on the back lids. I am pretty happy with how it has turned out so far. All of my lights are in and wired up. It looks awesome in the dark. I can't wait to get my girls out jug fishing...

    Started the rear bench today and got it framed out. I will deck and carpet it tomorrow. I have all the wires ran and half of the lights installed. Getting close enough now to see the end. May have to buy another boat and start all over :wink:

    Last weekend was steelflex. Took all the paint off down to bare metal, cleaned and put 3 coats on. I put the 1st on too thick and was a little worried i had messed up. After two thin coats it settled out nicely. It helped to let each coat get tacky before the next went on. Taped her off and...

    Been on here for a bit soaking up all of the good info you guys have put out there. I started my rebuild last weekend. Outside first. I will post pics as I get brave enough to do things. The story on the boat is it started life out on the Current river here in MO. The guy I bought it from...
