Gentlemen, thanks for your input. It has been sold.

She's now for sale! I upgraded to a 20' Pro-Line center console and need to get her our of my garage. She's always been garage kept, so she's in great condition. Engine has about 60 hours on her. I'm looking to get $4500. Based on the guides, I believe that to be a fair price, but if I'm...

Note 2 or 3. Bigger, nicer screen. Use Skype for cross platform video calls. I've owned an iPhone 3s, 4, and 5, and the Note is superior in every way that counts to me - email, media, and browsing.

They're Tempress all weather high back seats I believe. The painted decks are nice, but grip is a little lacking. When I paint the back, I'm going to throw in grit for texture like I did on the first front deck.

I'm also toying around with an above deck anchor storage area. My son has trouble getting the anchor out from the front well. The anchor storage wouldn't be affixed until I redid the front, but I'm starting to like the idea. It also gives me a place to mount the trolling motor on the front...

I'm tinkering again. I had flush mounted some coolers in the rear benches, so I picked up two cheap Tempress 1115 hatches (11x15) that fit just inside the cooler. I made a frame out of 2x2 again, and then topped it with 3/4 ply. I used stainless steel screws to keep it all together. I plan...

I've got a 16 foot aluminum boat, and would like to carry live bait with me. I don't really have the skill or money to put in a through-hull system, so I was looking at some of the portable systems and the home made cooler type systems. I'll mostly be using shrimp, small fantail mullet, and...

That looks awesome. Wish I had a tenth of the talent with aluminum that you do. How much weight do you think you've added so far?

Not sure why you're directing the question and tone at me, since we're all armchair lawyers here - unless you have some jurist doctorate I'm not aware of. The only qualifications I have are being in a similar situation, and working for law enforcement that does the evictions, so you should take...

It is not illegal to do so, at least in Florida. The ownership of the home is retained by the current owner until the foreclosure is finalized. Therefore, the current owner can continue to collect rent. It is in my opinion, however, immoral.

Check the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009, and the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2011. We were going to rent a home that was just purchased by an investor, but we couldn't find any info on said investor, so we looked up our rights. You'll have to look up the specifics...

Saw some others on here using Google Sketch Up. I played around with it (a lot longer than I probably should have). Here's the end design: I've made a lot of mistakes since the first deck, and even some with the second deck. Heck, it's only plywood and paint. Everything else is...

I finally got the boat wet this weekend after the new deck install. I originally tried to seat myself and my two kids across the rear bench, but the boat seemed stern heavy. I had trimmed the motor all the way down, and the bow still wouldn't sink much in transit. With a heavier fishing...

Finished the last top coat of spar varnish. Added the pulls and nylon hinges I got from Ace Hardware. I'd like to add some of those spring hatch holders so the hatches will stay up. The spar varnish dried quickly (says 2-3 hours between coats). I spilled some on the port side and didn't see...

Second top coat and paint flakes added today.
