Thanks for all the complements guys!
As promised here's the seat repair pictures. I also did a small enhancement project that I'll share below.
Here's the new office chair air shock I got from Ebay for $25. All we want out of this thing is the chrome shock itself.
Turn it upside down and...
Seems to me it thinks central Florida rednecks sound alot like Alabama rednecks. Jtrip from Dade City and Me from Ocala and it put us both in Alabama.. Whatever I'm not going to be changing my Orange and Blue for Red anytime soon. :D
Well, If you make them out of aluminum they never rot. If you paint that aluminum then you won't have to shine it up from time to time.
The white plastic cutting boards would make good control panel faces that stuffs easy to work and smooth out with a dremel.
I personally wanted to put some...
Ok.. It's Official. I'm calling her DONE. (mostly)
First I need to thank the whole TinBoats community, I went thru every build listed on this sight in preparation for doing this build and looked at what I liked and blatantly stole the idea! There are a lot of talented people out there who...
Well I stayed up late this evening to finish up some odd's n ends. I'm just about to call this project done. Were taking it out to the river tomorrow to do a little fishing and I'll get some nice over all shots of the boat for you guys to see.
Until then here's the last of the projects that I...
High Praise Dave.. High Praise.. thanks bro!
DrNip, Yes I'll be posting some overall boat shots when I get the last few items finished up and I call it complete.
Here's some fun stuff I found out. The flipping seat that I have stopped working the day we took it out fishing. It won't lock in...
Happy 2014! I hope everyone had a Safe and Happy New Years Eve. :D
We took the Simi-finished tin out yesterday for the maiden voyage and I've got one word to say about the boat.. Awesome! It was everything I was hoping it would be.
First off sitting at the dock in the water the boat was...
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!
Thanks Scout! It's been a long haul but its almost done.
I'm 90% done with the project the only big thing left is the hatch for the bilge area. I got the front deck finished and and some odd's and ends cleaned up and were taking it fishing tomorrow...
Christmas is slowing me down but hopefully before the new year. I've only got 3 more hatches to do. Unfortunately like I said earlier, I'm having to take them apart and shave them down a bit to fit right. Also waiting for the last of the vinyl to show up.
Update.
I ran into some trouble, I'm short on my vinyl and have to order some more to have a full piece to put on the back bilge deck. :(
So that's setting the completion time table all out of whack... well full completion anyhow. I figure we can still fish with the bilge open.. no biggie...
That is a cool tool. I used a hole saw kit and like you said, it jumped around and i slung WD40 all over the place keeping it lubed up. Keep up the good work I like where you are taking this.
