Nah you didn’t lose me, I’ve been working 12-16 hours 7 days a week. Just got off the phone with the local reputable tohatsu dealer.... 3800$ for a 25hp with trim/tilt, electric start... the whole nine yards. Now trying to decide whether to jump or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I’m pretty sure my 25hp mariner has but the big bullet.... so I’m looking for recommendations. I’m not really sure how big I can go on a 1648 Grumman.... any thoughts? Also not sure which brand I want to go with, looking hard at tihatsu but also open to other suggestions. Thanks for your...

Well the money keeps going.... probably the most expensive part of my build bought today. Didn’t want to go this expensive but here it is. Simrad go9. Anybody got one? I’ll put it on tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I finally got it to about 90% completion and said heck with it I’m putting her in the drink. I’m sure I will find plenty more I want to add and still need to wire up most of the electrical components but it was done enough to spend a day on the water. The mariner gave me a scare right out...

Well the carpet was a little more intensive than I thought. This is all new to me. But I got all but two of the pieces covered before I had to head to the mill.

Well here’s the carpet I’m going to be going with... my dads 16 foot alumacraft has had this carpet in it for over 10years and it’s still going strong. Doubt if I will be duck hunting out of this boat but if I do the carpet will be semi camo. It’s 97$ for 6x15. Also free shipping. I’ll take that...

Well I got the carpet ordered and just waiting to go pick up the wood or a few signs. Haven’t decided yet. Should I go with aluminum decking or plywood decking? Looking for opinions.... on another note I am now the owner of another Grumman. Me and a boy I work with were looking at craigslist and...

Thanks for all the help. All the motor work is done. I redid all of that last year and it runs like a top. Replaced the carburetor gaskets and the impeller. Trying to decide if I want to go with an aluminum carpeted floor or a plywood carpeted floor. Won’t work on the boat again until next...

Well I got the rest of the framing done yesterday on the 1985 Grumman. I am now ready for a deck.im going to have 6 storage compartments two of which will be for the trolling motor batteries up front under the seat. Getting a little closer!

Yes it is

Well I started a new job down here at the papermill, so haven’t had time to mess with the project until yesterday. Finally started framing in the front deck. I used 1”by 1/8 aluminum angle and decided to run the front deck all the way to the middle bench seat to give me plenty of room for under...
