    Hydro turf?

    Ordered mine at hydroturf.com. Expensive but love it. Mine is the link in my signature towards the back of the build. Got mine with the 3m backing.

    Thank you. The hydrofoil made the ride so much better. Lost about 5 mph top end but cruising around at 25 mph is just fine. Purchased a Helix 7 for out back. Love it.

    Well finally finished up the hydroturf. Put it on the back bench and added another seat mount for steering the boat. Also added a hydrofoil. Hopefully the hydrofoil fixes some of the issues I have when the live well is full and wife in boat with me.

    Got the flooring complete. Man I wish I would have done the flooring ages ago. So much nicer. Have enough hydroturf to do the livewell lids.

    There are 4 braces. 2 on each rib under the deck. There is also a square piece of aluminum on each side of deck welded. If I had to do it again I would have gotten one size diameter thicker on the deck. Some warping has occurred. Luckily I'm only 170 lbs and it works.

    Well it's been awhile since I've worked on the boat and got tired of seeing the aluminum flooring laying in the corner of the garage. Cut the cardboard template, closed cell foam and aluminum sheet for the rear flooring. Used a table saw to cut the closed cell foam. Worked really well. Used...

    Weld-Craft First Boat

    Looking nice! Aluminum flooring for my Weld-Craft has been sitting in my garage for months now. I need to install it. I have some hydroturf like that on my casting deck. Love everything about it but the price. Make sure you get the hydroturf with adhesive backing.

    new tohatsu 20hp break in ?

    I ran mine as close as I could to the ten hour recommendation. Let me tell you it was rough. That 10 hours felt like forever! I've heard people say you don't have to but it was my $4300 spent and I didn't want to take a chance on word from some joe blow who didn't spend the money.

    Thank you! I had to put an elbow on my drain tube. When I'm cruising it would shoot water out the tube like a whale and would leak out the top of the livewell. The 90 degree elbow redirects this water back into the livewell. Ordered my aluminum for my flooring. Will be getting it installed...
