Let me give you a couple of tips. #1. Don't grow up. #2. If you have to grow up, set your sites a little higher.

Back on the boat job. This week was getting the legal stuff done. License and registration are all taken care of. I saw Gomer Snerds boat in a pic and I really liked his lettering so I pm'd him and used a similar idea and had letters done. Thanks.

I also added a double seat set up to use if I want to get way forward.

and I worked on the rod holders. Here is a pic checking for fit and seeing if the adjustments will work. I will be able to adjust from way forward on the bow all the way around to the sides with this set up. Another nice feature is NO HOLES! It is very solid. Of course, some hi-teks or cumberland 360's would be the bomb, but those driftmasters have helped put lots of fish in our boat and are an easy fix for now.

Another build just like the above for the starboard side and a little finishing touch here and there and we will be ready to fish it and add as we go along. We did take it for a short time mid day monday and were able to put some crappie in the boat. It seems like it will be a very good fit for us.

Sweet! Very innovative.

And the starboard side is done. Just anotherrrrrrrrrr trip for more bolts, and the rod holders will be done except for a little grinding and some paint and other cosmetics.

Carol, why have you got 5 holders on your side and I only have 4? I know you usually fish 6 or 8 by yourself while I fish 2. I bet you think you would have been bored with only 4. And why is this funky thing on the side of the boat? Investigation is in order.

Don't know if the transport holders will work out, but I thought I would give it a try. Just getting some measurements and trying to make sure they miss seats and that lids will open.

Those letters look a lot better than mine. Hope Mr. Greenjeans likes them.
