I took some better pictures with my camera but they said that the file size was too large. so i had those pics from my phone. any ideas on how to make the camera pictures work??? I painted the boat to match my truck.

Measure twice and cut once.

i have the deck on now. i sealed the rivets with gluvit and sealed the plywood with Thompsons. took it to the lake to test it out and found out the hard way that my motor needs new plugs. i guess some fresh gas is probably in order as well. oh well we have a winter storm coming in so it looks like I will have a little more time to finish. carpet is on its way.

It's looking really good thus far.

You're going to have a sweet boat when you're done...and the satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself...

 

[bm3dufner]

thanks, it has been a big project for me and it's almost done. im sure that it will never really be completely done but you know how it is. I'm starting to get sick of looking at it!

Lookin' good...I hear yah about the snow...we are a few hours away from some snow here in PA. Just when we thought spring was here...

 

[lbursell]

Good looking build you have going there. What are you going to cover the decks with?

 

[bm3dufner]

i treated the plywood with thompsons water sealer and im going to cover it with marine carpeting from lowes

I like your work a lot, where did you get these rod holders on the benches?

 

[Critter]

Where did you find open water on the 22nd to launch your boat? I"m still at least a week away from that here.

 

[bm3dufner]

i got the rod holders from a local guy that builds docks. He makes the holders out of the scrap. his company name is marine automated dock 866 GET-DOCK i like em and they were cheap. i think i paid like $30 for both of them.
ass for the open water we had a warm week and one of the small lakes was open. no bites.
