keep thinking of the day you get the re build done, and how much pride you will have in that boat.
I am going to do the interior with marine grade plywood and use a product called "Ultra Tuff Coat" to finish it with instead of carpet..Sorta like Rhino Liner..It is kinda pricy, but worth it. at $85 a gallon. If anyone knows where I can get it cheaper I'd appreciate some info.
Give us an update and maybe some pics.
It's just been siting idle for the past week..I have the front framed up and ready to put the deck down, but thats as far as I have got..I have been trying to catch up on a few things around the house and get these darn taxes done. Hopefully I can get back to work on it this weekend.
I finally had a chance to do a little bit of work on the boat this afternoon. I started cutting the front decks. Actually have enough room to have a small deck in the very front to mount my electronics and maybe a cup holder or something and a tackle box and the lower deck will still have plenty of room for my seat. I went with 3/4" BC Plywood and I am going to treat it with Coppertox (sp) before I mount it all in the boat...I have used this stuff before on deer stands and it works great..Once I put the Ultra Tuff Coat on it, it should be treated and sealed up pretty darn good. I still have some fiberglass and rotten wood left to get out, but that shouldn't take long...Guess I'll do that while the Coppertox is curing.

WOW
When complete you will have one heck of a boat and a nice winter ride. Fred's old Key West 19 footer turned out to be the best crappie rig that I have ever fished out of.
Good luck Tim.
It looks like its coming together well will deff be nice when done
Plugging away at it little by little as time permits me. Just about done with the woodwork in the front except for some trim. Going to be a lot more room up there than what I am used to. The green color comes from the Coppertox I am using to treat the wood with. I did put 1 sheet of plywood in the back just so I could have something to walk on while I was working. Tomorrow I will Coppertox both sides of that sheet of plywood and start working on the back part of the boat..Starting to look like something now.
