[QUOTE="technohillbilly, post: 237954, member: 7337"] Isn't the "Interweb" a wonderful thing, you live half a world away from me (I live and hunt in Australia) and your efforts have still inspired me. Due to a lack of finance my boat will have to evolve over some time. My boat is a little 10' Seacraft (early 80's vintage) powered by a '87 suzuki 8hp outboard the whole rig cost me just $730 (as seperate purchases). I've been using it like a layout blind. I have a plank of timber running from the stern to the bow which I lie on and I use painted burlap draped over me and the boat as a blind, with a little natural vegetation thrown over everything, it works a treat. My rebuild progress so far is a new paint job, including a new painted engine cowling (bought from a wreckers for $5). Rebuild cost so far less than $80. I didn't paint the original engine cowling to hopefully preserve the resale value of the engine. Anyway, heres the progress so far. More to follow (hopefully), as cash and the handbrake (wife) allow.
