14' Smokercraft Alaskan

[TOY BOAT]

Got the new transom cut, and glued together. Used the mini jacker, because the shanks on the bolts were too long without it to help clamp the two sections together. I used Gorilla waterproof wood glue. Also got the new panels cut, and Spar urethaned.

Kinda cold to do much today, but I got the new transom in spar Urethane, and installed the new bimini top. Mostly because it was taking up room, and installed, it is out of the way. :roll:

 

[TOY BOAT]

Got some more done today. Drilled all the holes in the panels I needed, and then spar urethaned the holes, and put a third coat on every panel. Then I dropped the transom in, drilled all the holes, removed and used a q tip to urethane inside the holes before putting a third coat on. Then I installed the transom for good. I moved the L brackets to where they will go now. Installed my seat, and vacuumed the inside. Now I have carpeting, wiring, paint, and decals left.


Thank you search button, and to all those who came before me. Your info and help proved invaluable.

Today I had planned on finishing the interior and electrical, but decided it was a nice day to paint the boat, and motor. 8)

Looks great! You're really gettin' 'er done. I like the stock layout of the boat, smokercraft makes some really nice rigs. Where did you get the bimini, and how much did you spend?

Thank you. It is nice to see it coming together. Next week the Smokercraft decals go on along with hull numbers, and the name. Got to paint the interior before going any further.

I got the bimini here.

Great price. How do you find the build quality and fit and finish on it? Convince me not to slap down the credit card.

I would recommend it is about all I can say. And I am fussy. Fit was good, And the quality seems, and feels good. Works like a charm. Made by Sunbrella.

The paint looks good, how did you paint it?

I used a paint gun, and compressor with a inline water separator.

Started cutting the holes for the accessories, installed the battery box, and cleaned up the interior for paint.
