it's not carpet. It's rustoleum with the marine grade anti slip additive on the surfaces that you would step on. Bowfishing and carpet doesn't go well together.

Youre getting there. Looks good

LOL!!! I didn't believe you until I went back & looked at the pics again. Now that you've mentioned it, I can see the grain in the plywood :mrgreen:

Yeah, I ran out of paint, about half the bottom needs another coat. The stuff is really grippy. I am surprised. Probably as much grip as bedliner, and I think mixing it in with the paint is going to wear better than putting sand on the top would.

i really thought it was carpet sorry about that it looks good though

Quite a bit of progress has been made.

Got my trolling motor mounted, my neighbor gave me a set of rod savers he won (modified to hold a bow), Seats are made, they just need to be covered in vinyl. Still gotta get that last coat of paint on the floor. Switch panel is in for the nave lights.

Heck, I thought it was carpet also . Looks good, and nice use of the rod holders! 8)

Looks great! I'll look forward to seeing some pics of some of the victims :wink:

Nice water assault vehicle :wink:

That Bow/carp shooting stuff is gettin big isn't it?

we got one around me and the boys get together at one of the sponcers before taken off, there be 20 or so Bad ol'Boats there. its always a show someway or another-they attract attention

It is getting big. Where I shore fish I have people talking to me all the time.

I ordered some orange vinyl for the seats today.

I also forgot to mention I think I am going to skip the generator. I have an extra group 27 sitting in the garage I am going to use at night, and run some 100 watt "offroad" style auxiliary lights instead of the A/C halogens. The battery should get me roughly 5 good hours with 5 or 6 lights. They will also take less space, both light dimensions and room from the generator.
