Ya I'm just worried because my aluminum was so old it was hard to weld even when sanded clean, I'm thinkin I might run the sander over some spots as well to kinda clean it up a bit ya know?
 
We will see, I'm also tackling a front deck this weekend so this should be intreasting!
 
I got some new pictures on the boat, of a front deck I'm makin, for some reason having problems loading them so I'll figure it out eventually...
 
Lol thank you man, actually it's my phone, it won't send to my e-mail, facebook, or anything I think they internet on it is fucked up. Stupid I phones I'd rather have my old blackberry back!
 
I tried uploading those photos once again, having issues it won't even send them to my e-mail, facebook, etc. Took it to At&T and they couldn't upload the photos and don't know the problem, so I guess I'm gonna have to go old school and take a disposable camera photo shoot, workin on that tomorrow sorry folks. Also Jackson Pollock himself would be proud of my floor...
 
This is the 3/4" plywood I'm using for the floor, I primed the floor, then painted it orange obviously, then coated with with blue splattered texture paint.

Here are the supports for the "trusses" in my boat, eventually I'm gonna add more supports especially in the front, but as it is it easily supports my chunky self and another person.

Here go all the "trusses" which support the plywood, also this is going to have a door in the center, just to have access to my anchor line, eventually my front gas tank, and lastly a couple of batterys for the front of the boat.

Haha Russ thank you buddy, I'm nothing if not consistent and loyal to my school. I'm Orange and Blue through and through.
 
Here is a view of what will hold my spindle later, for now it's just 2 pieces of 2x6" that is all threaded togther, eventually it will have a 3/4" piece of all thread through it with a spindle and around 300 yds of 1/2" rope and around 25 ft of chain and a heavy *** anchor.
