Nice boat. I have a similar 12' project on the go that I'm really trying to get finished this week as I'm taking it to Quebec fishing in 14 days - not that I'm on the countdown or anything. :) Looking forward to seeing how you make out on this. EE

X2!

Wicked! Looking forward to seeing your progress on this. X2 on redneckfisher's comment! Centre console in a 12' - awesome. =D>

Hey; I bolted the exterior motor plate straight through the hull. It was rivet in, but I replaced the rivets with ss bolts and hardware. I ran a bead of silicone around the edge of the plate and just held it in place with a clamp and the bolts. Not that I'm any expert, but I'd say you're...

There's been a flurry of activity lately. My FIL is back from FLA and jumped in enthusiastically. My buddy was down for a visit on the weekend and put him to good work on the trailer with FIL. Went from seriously contemplating selling the kijijii found trailer and purchasing a new one...

The mats I got at Canadian Tire. I got 3 mats 3' x 3' ( I think ) for $45 on sale. The transom bolts go through. You can see the two through the bottom of the motor plate. The others are through the handles. Just did some work replacing benches today and will post some pics soon.

Nice one on the purses. Shoes. Keep that one in your pocket for next time. :)

Nice fish! =D>

:D You're probably right!

Any help appreciated. Has anyone ever seen this type of jig before? Apparently it's very hot for speckles in the area that I'm going to in Quebec at the end of May. Frankly, I'll believe it when I see it, but I won't know unless I try, which I guess pretty much makes me a sucker. :)...

Dude! That looks like a great little set up! I'm working on a 12 footer myself, but nothing like you've done. Really nice! Good luck at ice out. Ice is off the river here, but motor's still in the shop, so have to wait before I can get out. EasternEasy

Got a good deal on some rubber mats that I saw some of you using. Also got my cheapo ($10 for the pair) BPS rod holders so we'll see how they hold up. Can't wait to get this pop can out on the water!

I finally got the stain and varnish finished. Two coats of the stain I had laying around the garage and three coats of spar varnish. I'm pretty happy with the way it came out. Snow day today for us here in SW Ontario, so I spent the day mucking around the garage. Picked up the mail and...

In!
