Ok, thursday night and off for the weekend. My wife is out of town visiting family in florida so I better get some work done on the boat. Picking up my hitch and installing it tomorrow morning, and then maybe bringing home the boat trailer I've got waiting at work. I'll take pics of it when it...

I agree great work. Hopefully this weekend I can make some progress on mine.

Lets try 268. Thanks.

very nice paint job on the boat, i also like the bling looks good.

Man, great job on the boat Hydrilla. It is looking great, keep up all that good work this weekend. My long weekend to work on my boat will be next weekend. Hopefully I can get half the amount done that you have and I'll be happy. :D

Nice find on the boat and welcome aboard. Can't wait to see the progress you make. I too am on a budget for my build and got my boat from my work at a scrap metal recycling facility. So I really hope to keep my costs low. Good luck and keep us posted.

Very nice work so far on the boat cheeseball. Question, are u finding it esy to work with the aluminum for your framing and have you gone through hull with any of them? If so what did u use to attach the framing with, alum rivets and then sealed with 3m 5200? Thanks

thanks ill look into one today.

i think it's a great idea, but i also think it may be to high don't you? If its meant for sun protection I think the sun will still get you unless its straight above ya. But I could be wrong. either way I'm glad you posted that because I thought of buying a cover like that but now I may just...

ok not to much progress on the boat to report but i did score 37 pounds of aluminum angle from work for only $20.35. Here is a picture of what I got, hopefully this will be enough for what I am going to do to the boat. I figured on a sub floor then build the seats from there and a front deck...

Great job so far, can't wait to see more.

Crappie you are not kidding about the paint removal. But first we used paint stripper and then I took a wire wheel to it. That combo seemed to work pretty well. However because of the amount of work that it is, I feel we may not strip the outside hull we may just sand it a little and repaint...

Well was able to work on the boat a little this weekend. Put a stripper on the paint inside the boat and worked well, but not perfect like I wanted. I ended up getting a wire wheel for my drill and wow did that work great. It took off the rest of the paint that the stripper didn't get. Going to...

danmyersmn thanks for the advise. the 3M 5200 what is that? sounds like its a good hole fixer is that correct?

nice job fixin that hole. now a question, that boat patch you used, how good is that stuff to use as a small hole patch on the high spots of the boat? do you think it will last a long time because i dont have a welder to fix them properly? thnx for the input.

yea i saw that actually. not a bad idea, i remember though the user said it didnt really make to big a difference. but your right out here it may. the stuff i bought was from walmart and says you can leave it on anywhere from 30 min up to 24 hrs. think i am going to try to put some on tomorrow...

ok got to work on the boat a little this weekend. and I mean a little. but I was able to take off the transom boards, the alum plate, and another goofy board that was back there. took out some screws and other junk. scraped as much down as possible, even had my wife helping for a little while...

kickedback thank you and welcome to the site. I am actually out in Maricopa, I probably will take you up on the offer to answer some questions or help. Thats awesome, glad to see another az er here on the site. I just got the boat home today with the help of a friend from work. got it registered...

I thought of the cuddy cabin but not sure I could afford a bigger motor for awhile. Going to use a small gas and my trolling for now. But I have done just that, started a list of wants, and am getting ready to start drawing them out.

Thanks and yea trying to get it goin here. The weather is getting nice still pretty warm during the day though. Why did you leave Mesa? Hope to start working on the boat this Friday, once I get it registered then I can bring it home and start work.
