Handles great in the water. I actually think it handle better with the extra weight. I am very happy with the boat... so far. I think when doing a build like this it is hard to find out when I am actually finished.

So far I like the Mini Jacker a lot. Would like it to be an inch or so higher because I think it's only 3 1/2 high, but the boat handles great with it. I didn't like the aluminum color so I used some of the $23.00 paint (yes $23.00 for 12 ounces from the dealer... highway robbery!!!) to make...

Here is a couple of pics in the water. I was fishing alone so couldn't get any with someone in the boat but will in a few days.

Typo!! It's not 1/4 it is 1/8. I was rushing when I typed that last time. I have no sqeaks either. I had a sqeak in the floor between the seat but rivited that do instead of screws and fixed that problem. I love the way it came out.

This is a awesome looking project. Something like that could be fun here in FL. You are doing a great job. Some of the lakes I fish here have small one man pontoon boats, which this is between a one man and full size. I am taking notes.

No pictures of it in the water but can try to get some on Wednesday, would say tomorrow but supposed to rain. I don't have much invested because a friend did all the alumimum work for a bottle of Crown. He even supplied all of the braces, but I did by two pieces of aluminum decking. A 6x8 and...

Well I finally got some new pictures up. Not done yet but just showing the what is done so far. This is all aluminum including the decks and floor. I stand on the deck to fish which I am very happy with how stable the boat is. Boat runs about 26-28 with two guys, cooler, and fishing gear...

Well I haven't posted in a while because I have been super busy. But I have gotten more done on the boat and thought I would post so pictures. I am very happy with how stable the boat is and I changed to a mini Jacker Jack Plate, shortened the trolling motor shaft from a 48" to a 36"(had...

Baitcaster, Ditto on the sending a PM for me with the address to the decal dude, [-o<

I was talking to my buddy the other day and we were talking about boat names. Well rather than buying an old boat and redoing it, I did it backwards and boat a new boat to redo. So that being said we named my boat "Bass Ackwards". I almost always bass fish and if the kids go with me then we...

The boat is looking awesome, the graphics look good. It is really coming along. =D>

Well got the carpet on the rear deck and ended up short for the floor so back to home depot. Now I guess I get ready to start on the wiring. Need to get some good seats, put the cheap ones in it for now until I can get some better ones. I just want this project usable until it is completed...

Baitcaster, They are only a rivet in the fact that when you put them in the mushroom on the bottom but they have threads for the bolts to run through. I had not seen them until my buddy said we should use them but I think they are awesome.

The way we connected the base plate is that 4 of the bolts are through the frame we made, but the bolts that go into the bench we used riv-nuts. The riv-nuts worked great and seem strong. In the next few days I will lift the rear deck and take some pictures of how the base is connected

Well I finally got back to it. Got the trolling motor bracket made (we welded the top plate to the boat then riveted angle to the bench and used a little plate to cover the supports screwed it together for added strength, just have to paint it) and the trolling motor is installed. The bracket...
