One of these days you will shed a single tear when Im posting fish pictures off my boat...lol

Smack you're definitely a funny dude................................... :LOL2:

Not moving on bro, on the contrary. Just adding another coal to the fire, I was doing a quick summary because I couldn't believe how fast the year went by. I'm going to continued to post until she is 100% completed. In fact I'm just getting ready to put the final coat on the floor right after I finish mocking up 1:12 scale of the pontoon deck I'm going to make. I will post pics tonight or tomorrow, of the completed floor.

Don't cry for me Argentina.......................................... :mrgreen:

You ain't right. Or, as my friends often say to me...."You're correct, but you ain't right!"
LMFAO!! :LOL2:

 

[Jonboat Jerry]

That was very, very, bad Dave.....still laughing. J

 

[Country Dave]

Get R done............................ :roflmao:

Pics of floor shortly.

 

[Country Dave]

Ok I got it all unmasked,

It came out pretty good. Its hard to see the little bit of blue splotches I put in it but its the same blue as the outside color. I decided to run it up the sides ¾ of the way. You can see the difference in the pics, its not nearly as shiny as the paint. Don't want top get blinded........................ :mrgreen:

I nearly snotted myself...funny!
Looking good Dave! Sho you right, I can't see the blue splotches, I am imagining them though.

 

[Country Dave]

Smak click on the third pic from the top,

It should expand and you can see it pretty good on the sides.

Hey thank you sir,

Your Lund is pretty cool, good luck with your build.

 

[-coaltrain-]

Man. Looks slick man. I like the splotches. Did you flick a brush at it?

 

[PSG-1]

Boat looks really nice, CD! =D>

I was about to ask the same thing as coaltrain. I've seen the blue fleck in a lot of fiberglass boats. My guess is they do it by using a toothbrush dipped in the paint, then flicking it to create a spatter effect.

 

[Country Dave]

Thanks guys,

You can do it by dipping a brush "dipping and flipping" but I spray thick paint through the gun with the air cap removed. You get a little bit better control and the same effect.

 

[Country Dave]

Seems like you can never have enough rod holders,

I have eight on my console 4 on each side but only 7 are usable, the controller/binnacle blocks one of them. I'll probably use that slot to store a fish grip tool. I’m going to add one on each side of the poling platform as well.

I want to have 2 more up front so I’m thinking about putting them here. The cooler will be in front of the console but I checked and I won’t have any clearance issues with the lid.

 

[Gators5220]

That is one sick flats boat you got dave.

 

[Country Dave]

Hey thanks Gator,

Well I decided to put the 2 other rod holders here on the front bulkhead instead of on the face of the console.

 

[bigwave]

I like them better up front.....gives you a spot to put a second rod with other lure setup or live bait chunker. It will also keep anyone sitting on the cooler from hitting their back on the rod holders or snagging clothes on exposed hooks. Did you get some NFL approved helmets for your ride yet?........ :lol:
