Very nice. I wish I had the ability to do all the aluminum work you have done. I would love to go that way on my builds!

Ordered a couple of sheets of hydro-turf yesterday for the floor, i'll use what's left over on top of the float pods in the rear. I've also decided to paint the front deck and rear bench instead of use hydro turf on those, just because it would take me another 2 sheets due to dimensions, maybe something in the future. Also ordered another camo seat and mounting equipment for that. Still some work to do, but it's coming along at a good pace when i have had time to work on it. Paint needs to get finished on the interior and then wiring should be the last big hurdle before it's water ready.

Quick. Bird season is almost here!

I'm interested in seeing how the hydro-turf turns out. I'm thinking of using some myself.

Duck season is getting close and time is running out.

I was able to pick up this Avery quickset blind off craigslist last week. Next year id like to make a hard shell but this will work well for this year and it's easily removable / folds down quick and easy which is very useful.

Started putting the blind together yesterday
Also got the first 2 layers of paint on the interior, 2 more to go
Seats mouthed as well

Wow, this looks great! I’m really impressed by the paintwork.

Also, kudos for having a Photobucket account that actually loads photos.

no kidding, photobucket has ruined forums since they've changed. luckily i had a paid account before the revamp

Are you doing the full camo on the inside or just the base layer? I hope my paint job turns out as well as yours! Boat looks awesome.

Probably the full camo, just for extra layers of paint

Been a while since I’ve updated this. Been out on my friends new prodigy boat a few times last week and got me motivated to start working on this again. Sanded down the floor and installed the hydroturf yesterday. Also went to dmv and finally got it registered after owning this for 6 years.

I’m really digging the hydroturf stuff. I’m a fan of the pattern as well. Looks great!

Put the 40hp tiller back on the boat and was able to take it for a ride last week. First ride ever, it felt great. Boat sat nice and level and jumped up on plane really fast, boat ran good and handled very well.

 

[hookedontronics]

Also added hydroturf to the rear pods and an extreme nav stern light

I'll be interested in the build of the blind. I've started on one for my boat. It's a slow process.

Got my seat pedestals in today
