This winter/spring I continued making progress on the boat. At this point in the process it starts to get really fun. Buying electronic accessories, hatch covers, gunwhale straps, deck lighting etc.
Picture showing the finished hatches. I routed the batter charger drop cord out the...
I had a fishing trip planned at the end of last summer that was the deadline for having a working boat. That required a lot of long nights and I wasn't as diligent about taking photos during the build. It was pretty boring anyhow. Lots of clamps, carpet glue, drill bits, rivets, screws, and...
Well it's been a long time, I might as well wrap things up. The boat is almost done. I have learned that it is never 100% done because there is always one other thing that I would like to add. Unfortunately I didn't keep up with the blog as much as I should have, but I have this forum to...
I'll be posting a detailed update next week when I get some down time while on Vacation. Almost every bit of spare time I have been spending working on the boat and haven't had a chance to update the forum.
Good news is the trailer is done, bad news is my paint on the boat has a bit of an...
I sincerely appreciate the interest in my project.

Awesome build. I have been using this build as somewhat of a template for my boat revival. How is the steelflex holding up? I'm thinking about adding some to the bottom of my boat.
Been working on the boat over the last week after work. I fished as a co-angler in our bass clubs season opener this last sunday and I probably should have stayed home to work on the boat. 30 degree temperatures, snow, wind, and got skunked. Oh well, it was good to get on the water.
Since...
So tonight I got started a tear down of the boat. It was pretty straightforward to start, removing trolling motor mounts and the deck hand mount up front. Then I started removing seats, steering console, seats and carpet. I reached a good stopping point for the night and started making my...
Hi all, I have been a lurker on this site for quite some time now. Some of you guy's work is truly amazing. I have just started to renovate my Starcraft Bass Boss 170. I hope that my rebuild can compare to some of the other posts that I have seen on this site.
I recently graduated college...
