Thanks!... Only problem may be this winter, its also my duck boat.. Was hoping for a slightly darker, flat gray (like on the label) but this does look good... I may spray paint some stripes later to maybe break it up a bit........ But ive got 8 months of fishing before i have to worry about...

I like that color a lot! I think it's going to be a cool color in the hot summer days and heaven forbid, you drop some bait in the boat, it's very easy to find because of the contrast. I was thinking of doing a solid metallic blue strip along the top, but that may have to wait until next year...

We had to go out the next day and get my boy his. They were giving him some grief the first trip out but he snatched a good one-

Looking good man! Keep at it!

congrats! :beer:

Yeah I am piece-mailing it because I don't know how far I am going to go with this project. The framing and deck wood are getting sealed up today. I'll probably carpet it as I go. Baby steps moving forward. I want to see how it does with the initial weight of the trolling motor and seats that I...
