    Too Funny, I have 3 sets of the "Little Tires", they really lower a boat gunnel so you can work on it easier. Fairing the seam to the cockpit floor is uncomfortable on my knees, most of it I could work from a standing position. I run 14's Load Range D Radials on everything but my 14ft Tin Boat, it has 12in Radials.

    Default Getting Closer to Launch

    Getting Closer to launch. Finally figured how & where to mount the long pole holders so they look OK.
    Here is a picture of where we are now. A last shot of gelcoat up front is needed before installing the long pole holders. By making a center console I will be able to store more long rods inside. All the SeaDeck is cut out, I'm waiting to install till after front trolling motor G10 mounting pad is gelcoated. Black gel overspray will not come off.

    Almost all the work is completed now. Engine is hooked up, all that is really left is the fuel fill install and bow switch panel which I'm working on today.
    Here is a updated picture and the link to the project.
