I gotta say I love this build! I have been away from the site going thru the big D and had to sell off my boats but I am looking for another and LOVE your build!! Good stuff bub!

Posting photos is quite easy. I am anxious to see your new boat. It is either a good thing or a bad that all depends on the condition of the boat and how much you will have to put into it vs what you spent on it :lol: How much did your wife pay the seller for the boat? What size is the boat? And...

Thanks Gators! Yea I think I am about done with this one. Reason is I got another for $300 that was a 16' with trailer. That will be a nice build :) and with the "roundabout" same schematic as the "blueprint" as this one. Check it out. Talk to you soon. My 16' build...

Here you go bigwave :lol: I hope the question comes up in a thread that I am looking through so I can give the same advice you gave me about the wire cup brush. This is what it looks like after the wire cup brush got a hold of it. Looks great and talk about easy!!! It only took me about 15...

Thanks for the explanation Great White!

Okay sounds good. I like the night shot and 18mph with what? I was told the 25hp that I will be putting on the 16' will not be enough. I figure 18 to 20mph is plenty for a smaller boat like these. All in all I like it and thanks for letting me know about the measurements.

Hey bigwave I wanted to take the time and look at your build since you have given me so much good advice. I like it! What is the raise height from low deck to high? What is the width of the low deck as well? I was thinking of doing something similar and possibly putting a console in mine but at...

I hear you bigwave... so far I have gotten some really good advice from some really good guys and gals! I actually did help someone out the other day from advice that I got from someone else so a little dose of pay it forward :D Its to **** cold out today for me to try the wire cup brush method...

HAHA again with your reputation of good advice bigwave. You know its funny I had bought one yesterday, both wheel and cup style, in order to strip the trailer. Thanks bigwave, if Florida was not so far away id buy you a beer :D but it is. The offer always stands if you are ever in my neck of the...

Okay so here is the pic I promised. Ill post one before with the blocks and one after so you can kind of see the before and after so far. Sorry I know it is a little soon for "before and after" pics but I am very proud of my work. I used to be VERY hand guy... ie being a carpenter and building...

Hey guys, so yesterday was very productive to say the least. The wife was at work and I got pretty much everything I wanted to get done, done. I don't know if I was using to much pressure or if I was just buying cheap grinding wheels but they continued to break at the center were the arbor...

So I had every intention of working on the boat today but my wife had a different plan for me. So tomorrow is another day and is supposed to be in the 80s like today was. I will post some pictures tomorrow night of the progress.

Thanks Bigwave, you know I can count on your advice. I have read your post on others threads and its always good. I will have to look into the clegecell and see what my options are. Price is the biggest set back right now because the money is not a problem its convincing my wife to let me buy...

Okay so here are some pictures of what I did today. It was a lot for such a little amount of time today but I ran out of sunlight and tools. I was using a grinding wheel to cut into the fiberglass to open the transom cap. I also went to get a second opinion of how to go about opening the transom...

I love the mod Drift! Similar to what I am looking to do but I have to fix the crack in my transom first. I just picked up a 16' "homemade" fiberglass and the weather has been chilly to nice to freezing the next so working on it, since I do not have cover, is based off of the weather... sucks I...
