Actually from what I remember looking at your post I think yours is the v-bottom version, mine is a flat bottom with a v-bow, I kinda wish I had yours as it would probably do better with the 12hp motor I am sticking on the back of mine but it should be fun in a strait line :D Hopefully if I get...
Hows this for digging one up from the grave, I finally got back to working on my boat, way to many projects. I finished epoxying the seats and painted the vertical sections of the seats. Now I just need to carpet them and bolt them down and do all the little things.
Epoxy :D I got the underside of the rear seat/deck, the hack covers and transom coated on one side and the edges. I just used a 4" foam roller and foam brush and spread like crazy :D The other two seats still were a bit damp from the puddles so they are going to bake in the 95 degree sun today...
I think what they are talking about is sun bathers on the bows of speed boats :D I think if the other person it sitting on the back of the deck while in route or fish from it, it should be alright, might not want to have two people on the bow fishing at the same time though.
Yeah I think that is what I well have to do, didn't think it would be so necessary but the glue obviously likes porous materials to stick too. I think for now I well just do the two that have come unglued and if the others come up I well do them then.
I finally got around to installing the...
It was about a week, the interesting thing is it pealed up clean, the paint underneath is still in perfect shape. I well just glue it back down tomorrow and put a new tarp over it, the one on there now is ancient, Harbor Freight has a camo one that well fit nicely for $10 so I well probably get...
:evil: WTF We had a little rain last night, 0.5", I had a tarp over the boat but a little water still got in, the carpet is pealing up, so much for the glue being waterproof. I guess I well have to get a better tarp and when everything dries out I well reglue the loose bits.
I also got the...
****, what a deal, clean it up, smooth out the wrinkles in the nose and have a good welder fix it properly, not like the previous owners of my boat did :x No modding necessary either it looks, just the little tweaks to make it yours, great find.
Got a little work done, spent some more money, I got the plywood ect for the trailer and cut it up. I also sprayed on a good coat of Thomson's water seal, the stuff atomizes real good, made a big cloud. I also drug out my motor and tried running it on the 6 gallon auxiliary tank, always ran it...
Doesn't look bad, just filthy :D not a bad price either. To check for leaks, put it up on blocks and fill it to the water line with water, not all the way, and look for leaking rivets, rebuck the ones that leak and you should be good.
I got the middle seat supports all cut and attached and you can stand an elephant on it. I also measured up the flotation foam and it well still fit nicely inside but I am thinking on getting some new foam and cutting it to fit in snug and just have some 1x2's to hold it in or just have it go...
