Getting closer!

Even got some help from the little guy today!

I don't know about you but I get a lot of looks when I pull my boat with may subaru.

Looks great, have fun fishin'.

Thanks, I'm excited to not have to crawl over bench seats anymore as well. Hopefully I get it finished soon. I'm going to try to get it out this weekend for a little while to see how she does.

I decided that I did not like the way that I had the cooler set, so I reconfigured it. Feels like I'm starting to get on the home stretch.

Looks great, awesome build!

I used the closed end pop rivets on mine. They held with a leak test but I haven't been out on the water with them yet. Also I did not replace any rivets on the main seams.

Yeah it sure does, nice job on your build by the way. I haven't seen a whole lot of these 14 footers with a splash well either. I did manage to get most of the framing done over the weekend, just the front to do now. I ended up using 2x2's cause they were free. Keep in mind I'm no carpenter.

Now to the inside. :)

Eau Claire actually. I didn't even realize that's where you are when I went through your thread. Is that Lake Altoona where you are putting your boat in?

More work done. first coat of paint on the bottom. Old transom.

Also I did not build the trailer, :oops: I did weld the axle and used some old caravan hubs.

So I got some more work done today after I discovered two holes in the bottom that were in the middle of a rib. #-o I fixed those and replaced the leaking rivets. I also stripped/wire wheeled the 4 coats of old paint off. I'm now pondering how to keep the back seam from seeping. I thought...

Just a budget. Didn't want to do anything to expensive for my first build. :lol:
