Don, I've got a new TM prop , just waiting till it will not be in the way. Postioning my seats high enough so OF's like you and the rest of my fishing buddies can get out of them easier. Got some good Tempress seats and new pedestal bushings ordered. Should drive easier cause I'm replacing the whole steering system. Try'n to see if there is enough money left for a Hummingbird down imaging sonar. Maybe lookin for a loan before this here project is done.

See if they'll float you an extra hunerd for paint. Looking good!

Forget the paint and buy the Hummingbird. Paint is for other folks to look at. Great job on the carpet.

You'll love the DI hummingbird, Now if I just had a whiz kid to ride along and make all the stuff happen that it will do..I can turn it on,,I can turn it off...other than that...welllll

Hey Nimrod - Let me know how you like those seats. I am in the market and will be buying a set in the next month. Any advise from any one else would help

Billy I had one of these in my stick steer after my second back surgery, and it helped the pounding some. They are pricey though.
Cabela's: Attwood Centric™ Boat Seats

Don, If Nimrod is going to get us some high seats, I'm going to have to forgive him for not painting. His boat sets low in water, so not much shows anyway. On the other hand, I'm kind of worried about him gettin all that fancy stuff. He'll have that nose up in the air, he may not know us. Probably drown in a rainstorm.

Thanks Creek. If I get one Al will have to buy his own.
