Almost fully dressed

With the other woman gone, I had to bring the replacement up to speed. Several repairs kept me busy and the list is thankfully getting shorter. When I sold the other boat I left my rod holders bases in place to keep the holes and compressed carpet from looking bad while selling. I had ten holder bases scattered around. They got some holders but I kept my favorites. Now I had no plates to put em in when it’s time to troll. So I placed an ad in the classified section asking if anyone had any they weren’t using that they would part with. Smitty 39363 and crappiemax both responded and I was set up. They fixed me up and shipped at their expense, a wonderful gesture on both of their parts. I just hope they aren’t upset with me for bringing this to light, but I believe in giving credit where credit is due. Thanks so much guys, you helped with an important part of the finishing touches. New seat bases also came this week and I got em all mounted up and ready to fish tomorrow. Having replaced the wood under the decks I took measures to protect the new wood from meeting any water. I both sealed the drilled holes and 3” holes for the seat with polyester resin but also used 5200 around the bolts. Down side, I was a mess. That stuff gets everywhere, and acetone is the only answer for clean up. All that behind me, I stood back and realized how close to done I was, but I was missing something. She was still part naked, and the boss would be disappointed. Back to the house and came back with some dressing for the windshield. A mans gotta show his colors. Thanks for following the progress, it’s been kinda fun. Maybe I’ll see you on the water.......Skeet

Fantastic job, now that looks like a fishing boat, crappie fishing boat that is.

Very nice progress Brother Skeet. She's lookin' good for sure and appears to be ready for a good layer of fish slime. Congrats on the progress and I know we are all ready to see some good reports of your future fishing exploits and successes. I know the feeling of suddenly looking around and seeing you are at the end of the project... and how good it feels.

Glad I could help! You got her lookin good!

I did my best to get the requested reports posted, but they’re on the Florida board. It fishes very comfortably and still needs some fine tuning like a fish box and clip to hold the net when not in use. Thanks for all the interest and good comments, means a lot. Hopefully it may give someone some ideas for their own Dream Boat.

Certainly be better on the knees not having to come up and down on the casting decks.
