Thread: Skeetbum project 1

Certainly made some serious progress. It looks like a nice boat under the skin.

It looks like someone's been pretty busy. Looking good skeet. Shaping up real nice.

Busy, busy, busy

Looking good...

It's a pain in the butt to clean up a boat like He's doing........Cheer Him On!

Rojo, Ive seen a couple of your projects that have been pretty rough when you started too. The shop I see in the pics of yours just looks like fun to me. You’d have to tell me to leave. I got my dash panels dry fitted today. Not on a schedule but I need carpet and wiring and it’ll go quick after that.

I made and painted the dash panels out of some 1/8 I had. Had the idea of painting the panels black but it just didn’t look right, so a trip with the 600 grit and presto!! Now they’re charcoal gray. The left one is screwed down but the other is just hangin around. Gonna tape the edges and start the wiring when the time comes. Gonna try to get a lot of it done before I put it back in. I need to find a little tray to throw jigs and junk in when I’m busy retying. Thinking of a lip around the top of the console too.

Yes, the top of the console is a great place to put stuff like lures etc.
On 0ne of my boats i had holes on top due to wires etc. and i made a cover for the entire top from starboard with a 3/4” high ledge around the sides.

Nice work Tim!

Looking great Tim.
