Thanks Jason.

Well i took a piece of my bench seat to finish-master today, they scanned it and mixed me up a qt of paint, Wet it looks a shade light, she said it would dry a bit darker she thought, She also gave me a pint of flatten-er, said i had to play with it. So ill mix up like 2oz and do some testing. Said they would re tint it for free if i was unhappy with it. I think it will be fine, its just a boat, I plan to paint the entire deck so it does match.

When are you going to get your boat back? Can't wait to see it.

Polishing up my cad skills, been a few yrs.

i'm really anxious to see what it looks like! this is the identical boat to mine, and i'm thinking about doing some similar mods. all your ideas look great, and you'll end up with a great finished product!

could you label your cad drawing a bit so i can see how that will look on the top view of the boat? thanks!

i tried to get 3d models from tracker because i have 3d software access at work, but no luck. it would have made all the design really easy!

I will see what i can do. I actually thought about scaling the whole boat in cad, I cant 3d model im just a novice at it.

Picture this drawing from the back of your front deck, to the frontside of your rear bench.

Ok so how stable is that thing. As big as they are I would imagine that its like walking around on the dock. I can't stop looking at the Tracker site. I haven't even had time to fish mine..lol...

Can't wait to see it when you get done.

That is very nice... I figured as much :mrgreen:

 

[shanko92]

thanks for the help with the drawing! that makes more sense now that i see it correctly. looking really good!

my dad was able to pick up about 40' of 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1/4" aluminum angle for me at a scrap yard for $20. so that plus the build you've got is making me more anxious to get to work on mine!

keep coming with the build pics!

"Not worth mentioning" has did all the fab work. I designed it, he added his touches, and I get all the finish work.

You should have him make that middle area water-tight, fill it up, put in an aerator, and have your own jacuzzi tub when the fish aint bitin'. 8)
