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

Michigan!?! Your thin Florida blood will freeze in your veins....

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...

This is looking really sharp man. Super clean job your doing.

It's finished. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=31807

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.

Got 2 of my front hatches done. The one for the cooler sits a little uneven.. sticking up a bit. Nothing to be done about it so It is what it is.

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.

Hey Guy's, Thanks Dave. The LED's were a must have.. I didn't want to be dorking around with flashlights at night if I could help it. Buckethead, Thanks Man! I appreciate the complement. I got the vinyl decking from https://www.yourautotrim.com its Nautolex marine Vinyl Flooring "Shark...

Hey Guys, Thanks for the encouragement Gill. Centrarchidae, Your welcome! Hope that little trick helps you out. The dream of getting this thing done for some weekend fishing is getting closer to coming true. Yesterday saw alot of the top vinyl cut out and glued down then clamped in place...

I'm putting deck lighting on my boat. Pro's I guess if your going to be doing anything at night in your boat it will make it easier to get around in. I don't want to be tripping over stuff in the dark moving from one end of the boat to the other and taking an unwanted late night swim. Con's i...

I'm doing an aluminum deck on my project and were putting marine vinyl on it instead of carpet. If it gets blood or dirt on it i'm just going to spray it off with the hose, I don't think its going to get hot at all.. at least no hotter than anything else out in the full blast Florida sun. I...

I know, Right! I'm thinking if I push hard we can have her done by the end of the week ready for the water. Ok so today, I had one more small area of space under the deck that wasn't being utilized so we decided to make a small Dry Box to put wallets and cell phones and boat papers and any...
