Last week I ordered in some led stop/turn lights to replace my trailer lights. These are flush mounted to the uprights. I drilled the uprights and ran the wires through. Put on two sets to make sure they were bright enough. Cost $24. Got an old 18 horse Johnson today. Compression was 98...

Painted the back and front sides. Then re-numbered it and put on the transom boards. Turned out pretty good. Then, thankfully, we put it in the water for 4 hours without a drop coming it. Looks pretty good. The wife and I had a great time fishing. Tonight I put on the transducer for my...

Hopefully doing the top painting this weekend after mudding with the kids. That is if the weather holds out. Thanks for the info about the paint and method you used Perchin. I am going to do the back first (since I am mounting my new boards) and then I'll do the rest of the top half.

Thanks Perchin. Your thread will be helpful. I am going to use an old coal bin as a painting booth. We have about 6 of em out here that were abandoned many years ago. Wont have power, but they are made of concrete and have big doors. What kind of paint did you use for your upper parts?

There are a couple of pin hole leaks I found. They had put liquid nail on em and I sanded it all off so they leak again :) I figured Steel Flex can seal them up fine. I guess I will go with it. Then I can use some implement paint on the top half. Thanks for the input!

Finally got it back from the guy that did the welding. Spring turkey season started so he got delayed lol. Now I have to decide what to do about paint. I really wanted to do steel flex originally but now I am unsure of what to do. Anyone have any advice? I'm going to be doing some...

I guess delays happen. This one was almost a year because I had no time to work on it. Today I am taking in the boat to get the keel guard welded. I may have him weld a couple other places too, just for good measure. He is good and it will be cheap this time. Can't wait to get that done...

Very nice! That is going to move your rig around great. Hope to find something around that size myself. Great find Ober!

Framing looks nice! That is an awesome boat to start with. Can't wait to see the end.

Where are you located? I have one in about the same condition I have tried to give away. It doesn't have Virginia Creeper growing all over it either. Save your money for something better or cheaper. Lights will run you about $30. If you have a welder, you can fix up the rest for a few...

Nice upgrade! I like how you made a place for some tackle too. Very functional.

Looks sharp Ober! Good job!

Nicely done :) Tying down was one of my concerns also and so I had to come up with my own way. I like yours. Very quick and easy to use. Looking forward to your future mods.

I don't know for sure, but I am guessing that the wood around the top was put there to reinforce since the seats were taken out. It also gave them something to mount stuff to. 1xs will be easy enough to put back on because they flex so easy. Good luck!

Looks like a good challenge! After you get all of the old wood off it will look much better. Looking forward to seeing what you have planned for it.

Love the icons lol. The Energizers and dead fish made the plan very clear. So 3 batteries with two in the rear? Just making sure I am looking right. How big of a gas tank will be back there? It's going to be a nice boat!

I would think UV and tread wear will take its toll on the wood faster and be more destructive. Just my opinion though.

I put mine down as low as I have to in order to keep it quiet. Other than that, I keep it up as high as possible to help avoid rocks and stumps.

Almost have time to start framing. Have a funeral tomorrow... I mean a wedding. Hopefully I can start framing Wednesday. I have been messing around with layouts. This is what I am thinking of for now. I am only removing the second from the back seat. The rest I am leaving for flotation and...

Sharp boat. Good job :) That is the nice thing about fiberglass... Easy to repair. Good luck out there fishing!
