Dang boy, you do a good job. Really looks nice and you should be proud of your work. Proffessional.
Looks great. What glue did you use on the carpet? Done my tracker twice and not satisfied with the holding power of glue used.--shu
I used a marine glue for the carpet, but I always like to use contact cement for the edges. Contact cement is some awesome holding stuff just too pricy for me to use on everything so I just do the edges to keep the edges down. Once its dry, it there!!!Quote:

Looking great
you are a brave man.....looks awesome......
I had to take the last 3 days off from working on the boat for some personal reasons...Besides, I needed a break!!! Finally got back on it today and started working on the outside of the boat. The boat was filthy so the first thing I decided to do was give it a bath to see what I had to work with' Here are the results:

Really starting to look better, but only from a distance. So I went to scraping off decals and started sanding on it. I finished sanding just before dark. Weather permitting, tomorrow I will tape it up and shoot some primer on it. Hope to have the painting done by Friday.

I'd sure love to be in a paint booth!!!! 2-3 more coats of paint tomorrow and the painting should be done. Hopefully the decals will come in the mail tomorrow!!!

Then I went thru the bag of goodies that came with the boat that I haven't been thru yet and found this:

Just perfect for those rainy tournament days!!!
I bet TM will crack yer acorns if ya sell this one. Thats a nice rig.
That is a nice cover. I could see me putting a heater in there for winter fishing up here. One nice fishing machine you have.
Your right Tim that pinstripe did make a difference. I can't say this enough but you really did a heck of a job! That a nice fishing machine!
Great job Tim but should the Letters say "Cadallic"?
Pretty much done with the outside except putting my registration numbers on. A few more small details on the inside and then it will be complete. Looks like early Sept before I'll be able to start with the electronics, trolling motor and rod holders. Knee replacement surgery is gonna keep me out of pocket for the next month or so. My boat cover came in at just the right time!!

Looks great! Has TM seent it yet? Good luck on the surgery. Amazing how quick they get ya up and about.
I brought it home last weekend and she loves it...Looks like she may keep me around for a while longer:RoflQuote:

Man Chuckie said you were a glutton for punishment. Looks like this one sets up higher in the water.

It's been about 5 weeks since knee replacement and I am finally able to start piddlin' around on the boat again. It has been a "slow go" with this knee, but things are doing a lot better now. :highfive
Saturday I got brave (or stupid) enough to take the cover off and see what I could be doing. The boat had carpet on the gunnels (sp) and on the bow of the boat. I knew I didn't want to go back with carpet for the obvious reasons of it getting dirty, possibly slippery on wet days and replacing it again sometime down the road. So I decided to put something like a truck bed liner on there instead. So off to the parts store I went and bought a gallon of Herculiner. I put on 3 coats and it turned out pretty good....Tomorrow I am going to pick up the new Spyder Lok rod holders so I can see just exactly where I need to mount my trolling motor. It has a 60 inch shaft and I may have to cut a few inches off the shaft....Hope not....Where and how I mount the rod holders will dictate that...Hopefully I'll have the electronics mounted by this weekend and try to finish this project up!!!

Your just about ready for the water, nice work.
I really love my Spyder Loc's,
in fact ordered 2 more sets for rear of boat............
Gene said he is expected a shipment in within next couple weeks.
They are well built...
You are doing a great job on the boat - have been watching your progress and
updates. Its going to a work of art when finished........
Thanks for sharing
Been pretty busy today for a fellow with a gimped up leg....But it is starting to look more like a Crappie Fishing/Catching Machine!!!!

Little by little, it's getting there!!!
love the looks of the Spyder Loc's on front / rear of boat.
The adjustable stem means a world of difference ...
You have done great job of painting and redoing boat- more patience than i can
handle.
I'm still on mend from tripple bypass - can't do so many things that i want to do,
body restricts me.
