Now the easy part
I bet it will be nice when you finish.
Looks like you got plenty to do. After the paint, it will go good. You won't even want to slime it up.
a lot of work a head for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love rebuild threads. I will be following along.
Will be watching this thread as well, I love seeing what folks to with their rigs so I can get good ideas. :) You got it all planned out how it's going to come out, or you more playing by ear?
Not gonna paint, too much trouble. I figure it's to use not look at.Quote:

Thanks Steve, you'll have help me slime up the carpet soon with a few slabs out of Nimrod.
Nimrod, keep the pics coming as you update. Good stuff
You gonna put a matching cot in there for the little woman? I'll let you slime it up just a little, before catfish time. I already see that I'm going to have to bring my metal bottom boat over for catfish.
looking good
I believe you have done that before, looks great!
I know who to call when WE do mine...lol
Looks like a professional job to me! Keep us posted on the progress. Dude! You gotta paint it!!! Thumbs Up
Paint the boat.
Looks good, Nimrod. As far as the rebuild goes, looks like you gonna be the first one finished with yours. Haven't even had a chance to start on mine. PAINT THE BOAT!!!!!
Well I did a little more today. Sure was pretty out , was temped to fish. Harder to stay focused on a nice day but I need my boat!

Where's the paint?:deadhorseRofl
That's looking nice Thumbs UpNimrod. Don't worry about paintin it but you do need to put a new cord on that drill Rofl
I would put a new prop on the trolling motor. PAINT THE BOAT That carpet job looks to good for you not to paint the boat
Man,,that carpet looks GREAT....I can't wait to see it finished and PAINTED....maybe a soft tan color and get a prop for the trolling moter,,it'll supprise you the difference it'll make..prop VS no prop.....PAINT THE BOAT
He's either laid carpet before or wanting to go fishin awful bad. Boat lookin good.
Looking professional Nimrod. Don't worry about the paint. A 2 foot roller and a gallon can of outside white latex from walmart and the paint job can be done in 10 minutes or less:biggrin
Hope you get her fishing soon.
If I had all the fish thats been lifted over the side of that boat, I'd have a fish fry and invite the world!!! PAINT THE DAYUM BOAT!!!
I redid mine almost a year ago and remember all the "fun" I had, lol. It's looking really good man, keep it up.
Lookin' good Nimrod.
Don, I've got a new TM prop , just waiting till it will not be in the way. Postioning my seats high enough so OF's like you and the rest of my fishing buddies can get out of them easier. Got some good Tempress seats and new pedestal bushings ordered. Should drive easier cause I'm replacing the whole steering system. Try'n to see if there is enough money left for a Hummingbird down imaging sonar. Maybe lookin for a loan before this here project is done.:yikesrotfl:fishQuote:

Forget the paint and buy the Hummingbird. Paint is for other folks to look at. Great job on the carpet.
Oh,,ferget the paint,,get them seats high enough and from "up there" you won't notice the paint...lolQuote:

Hey Nimrod - Let me know how you like those seats. I am in the market and will be buying a set in the next month. Any advise from any one else would help
Billy I had one of these in my stick steer after my second back surgery, and it helped the pounding some. They are pricey though.
Cabela's: Attwood Centric™ Boat Seats
Don, If Nimrod is going to get us some high seats, I'm going to have to forgive him for not painting. His boat sets low in water, so not much shows anyway. On the other hand, I'm kind of worried about him gettin all that fancy stuff. He'll have that nose up in the air, he may not know us. Probably drown in a rainstorm.
Thanks Creek. If I get one Al will have to buy his own.
X ring I'm with u on the sonar that's my next purchase for the boat a wiz kid lol
