Thanks Bill. Yep. I ought to do something like that on it. If it was a red boat, I would put some caseih combine decals and model # on it but its blue and I'm not a New Holland man. Maybe put "Built Farmer Strong" or just get a Crappie Combine decal made. Something to celebrate the dang thing.CF

Jim, It is a urethane material. Durabak 18. Its a roll on bedliner that has ground up tires in it to give it texture. You have to use a stipple roller with it to get the granulars to roll out even for even texture. I did a panel board under my console with a regular roller and it looked like do do. But Prep work and going by the book on directions is critical. There is nothing forgiving about this product. I found out the hard way and it cost me a week and a half to strip back down and do it the right way. surfaces must be sanded down and the second time I put down an etching primer. That did the job.CF

We always knew there was something wrong with you. But this project is actually making you look more normal. Bet Bosko would fit in one of the rod boxes.

Thanks Dayton. Now everytime I open my rod lockers, I will flinch expecting a "Boscoe in the Box". What would You do if Boscoe popped out of one of Your boxes while You walked by?CF

Got my Cumberland crappie double seat mounted couple days ago.

Mounted depth finder up front. now just have to get the transducer on the console unit rigged up to the jackplate and will have to get another transducer to shoot through the hull because I have a triple step transom and no good location for the transducer on that transom.CF

Very nice. Can't weight to see it in action. Have you been on Craigslist to try to meet someone willing to fish with you? Or will that boat be listing on bash day?
