Skeetbum project 1

Thanks for dropping by. Ive been a project kinda guy for a long time and this one was worth sharing. A good friend called me a couple of months ago and said that he no longer used his boat and it needed attention. It was mine if I came and got it. Took a little time and a trip back to FL but i picked up my brother outside of Atlanta and south we went. Down on a Tuesday, got the boat and got it ready to ride on Wednesday and a return trip on Thursday. A busy three days. The trip went smooth with no mechanical disappointments. Ive been busy with it since its arrival and I began to think of posting its progress as it came along. So here we go.

The phone call came from this man. A good friend whos been around quite a bit in his life and fished some of the places on most of our bucket lists. His name is Chuck and the boat is named Chuker and will be for as long as i own it. Chucks been a CDC member for a long time and well known in the Florida gatherings. Having also spent time around Memphis, Chuck and his boat have spent time on all the lakes around Mississippi. It comes from good practice, and I plan on expanding on that.



This is the man with one of his smallest fish ever. Always enjoyed time i spent fishing with him, good conversation.

And this is the boat in front of one of the best tackle shops ever, Bitters B&T in Winter Springs, FL.

A little better look at what I started with. A very good start with most screws and bolts frozen. I must admit i said some bad words during the process. Just an introduction today with more pics and progress to come.
