Updates ! new pictures ! I added a lowrance elite 4 chirp and got a sweet deal for a motorguide ws55 for 100 $ it was broken. I fixed the motor . Plans for next year are adding a live well and possibly painting the exterior so it doesnt look so ragady ! Also made new aluminium corners in the...
:) Thx for the nice comments ! To Henro , yes I did use plywood for the floors and casting deck, coated with 4 coats of urethane spar varnish. Over the winter months I plan to paint them over with some sort of grip paint or deck coating.
Putting the finishing touches on the boat .
Built new casting deck for the back and scored some nice Wise seats and a brand new propeller on kijiji. Rebuilt my broken skeg. Now looking forward to hit the water again this weekend !
Took the boat out for its first fishing weekend ! It was great ! Covered more than 38nautical miles on one 25 litre tank ( i did use the 9.9 for trolling ) She performed good in the chop , but even if she is wide and deep , the chop from 30 knot Wind on that big lake was alot to handle.
To be honest i cheaped out, and got blue foam from Rona, ( equivalent of home depot ) built blocks and glued it together with pl foam. This is a budget build :)
Progress !
Finished wiring , fully welded console , installed seat and got 60hp seahorse shifter linkage unseized (although timing advance braket seems to not come back to original position) and my 9.9 is purring like a kitten.
Now looking to paint exterior and modify my trailer.
Tested out...
