The USS Dino's Barge (formerly known as the USS POS) had developed a leak that was causing me to spend more time pumping water out of the boat than fishing. With age and a little rot causing the plywood to sag the rear seat base had lowered enough to cut about 3/4 of a hole in the bottom of the boat and the once the base started to cut through the aluminum the pedastal end was able to push the aluminum down about a 1/2". So Reaper was gracious enough to move his beautiful Ranger out into the rain and bring the Barge inot the shop for removal of the rear plywood floor, a doubler over the damaged aluminum, and a new composite rear floor. I'm very happy with how it came out, and had a great day with a good friend teaching me how to do the job.

I did run into a slight problem when I went to the lake today to test the patch.

There are 2 ramps there but if I miss one there are really nasty rocks on both sides and between the ramps.
