My grandson and I visited Bass Pro in Ft. Worth last week and I bought the same Ascend for his birthday. I had to leave before he put it on the water. That thing is a lot longer when loading than it looks in the store!

Welcome to the forum! I'm a fairly new member also but I've been hanging around here for a few weeks. his is the forum to visit if you plan a boat restoration or if you just enjoy reading about all the conversions done by others here. Everyone is always eager to help and when I get ready to...

That's a great looking fishing boat!! You've done excellent work with the aluminum and planing the conversion. Did you remove the center part of the foam from the seat. I've thought about doing that on a boat I'm working on but I'm concerned about losing the floatation.

That's a great looking build! Skillful design and use of materials. Thanks for posting with all the pics and video. Kids have a short attention span and get bored easily and want to move on to another adventure. Keep taking him and you may just influence him to become a lifetime fisherman...

I would just mix the shells in with the varnish.

Very nice job on both the boat and trailer. What size tires are on your trailer? I have a Fisherman 150 which is probably much heavier than yours and the trailer has 8" tires and I'd like to put 12" or maybe 10" tires on it.

Nice looking project! I really like the color you're using......very simple but elegant.....not showy and a color that will always look good. Original OD Green looks good as well. Keep us posted.
