Project Boat

Looking good Tim. Will it be at Talquin in November?

It will definitely be at Talquin in November...Probably sooner than that...I am hoping to get it put in the water in the next week or 2.

After several hours of sweating in the heat and 4 coats later, I think I have the inside ready to start putting all the goodies in it!!!

looking good, hope it all comes together for you with few headaches or "elbow aches".. GL

I found a great deal on some seats this past weekend...Just couldn't afford to pass this deal up!!..I still have a couple of modifications to make but these seats will be read to install tomorrow..The seats in the front and back of the boat that we fish out of will be the same seats.

ALL I can say is NICE! Looks great.

I finally got the seats installed and decided to find a place for my GPS. This was the only place I could find that was close enough for me to see and operate it, but I think it is going to work out well there.



Before I pull any more accessories off my other boat, I want to get my livewell built and put in the this boat. I may want to hit the PFA another time or 2 and I'll need my 798 and TM...So while I am waiting on the livewell, I found some Polishing compound and thought I'd start cleaning up the outside hull and see how it is going to look...Wow!!!!

I wouldn't recommend doing this job in July, but the results turned out phenomenal!!! The whole boat was oxidized, but not real bad. So I gave it a work over with some rubbing compound and spent the past 2 days waxing it. If you want to "realize" just how big your boat is, try waxing it in July...But at least now it is ready to start decking it out with all the accessories. The trailer is definitely going have have to have a makeover on it now...Hopefully I can start back on it in a couple of weeks after I get back from Vegas.

Very nice job!! Can't imagine the manhours!............Any idea what the dry weight is on it or should i say was on it before the overhaul? Looks like it would be pretty darn heavy, which should help out in the rougher seas that Talquin is known for.

[TnT]

Not sure of the dry weight, but it can't be much heavier than the crap I took out of it...Gas, TM and batteries will be the only real weight left to add.
