[QUOTE="luvdlake, post: 128386, member: 2736"] Thanks for the warm Welcome. My plans are pritty simple, just to have a flat deck or floor the entire length of the boat with a coulple of livewells and a couple of bait wells in the floor, one set up front and a set in the rear. I am going to go with 3 pedastal seats spaced evenley down the center of the boat. Since I do mostly Jug and troutline fishing and some crappie and catfishing with rod and reel. I very seldom bass fish and if I do I will more than likeley be in my float tub. Now I said I was going to start this weekend and sandblast the boat, and I did somewhat I bought a harbor freight 40 lbs. sandblaster tank and 300 lbs. of play sand. Started last night, I found out real quick that my 60gallon and 5hp air compressor does not put out enough CFM of air. Now it works and does a nice job,takes the paint right off to the metal really quick. but the compressor never shuts off. So needless to say I am not going to burn up the motor on my 700 dollar air compressor. I called this place this morning called Sooner Sandblasting just to get a idea on what it would cost to have it professionally done and to my surprize fearley cheap, only 150 dollars to do the outside and inside of the boat. So I took it to them this morning and they said it will be done by Monday morning. So anyways that is my progress report as of now. [/QUOTE]
