[QUOTE="hercdrvrwo, post: 319246, member: 11885"] Update.... Haven't done much -- I have but remember I only have a couple of hours each night after the fam has gone to bed. SOOOO... As I sit in the boat and imagine what I want to do and change my mind a million times -- I quickly realize that This venture just got really expensive. So I have been on EBAY selling everything I have that I don't use anymore. I have sold over 20 items and amassed a little fortune. It has taken quite a bit of time to stage, photograph and list everything. I also am selling my 20' Pontoon boat, not because I need to or that the wife will allow me to put the money into this boat, but because I will be moving next year and I figured I might as well sell it before the 4th when everyone is looking for a boat. SOOO, I went ahead and purchased the Beaver tails and lined up a welder to put them on. I also purchased Parkers Duck boat paint in Marsh grass and also purchased 4 hatches for the boat. I also purchased all of the electrical pvc conduit and piping that I will need. Tonight I start on the electrical -- Finally!!! Transom is being laminated as we speak two 3/4 MDO plywood. The plan is to weld the Beavertails on then install the transom -- obviously a challenge in that I have the lower bolts to put in before the beavertail comes in. I am going to notch the transom and use VERY large fender washers. I will install it after the welding is done! Then we'll start on the decking and start framing everything up! [/QUOTE]
