Never posted finished pictures, here you go guys. Only difference is there’s an Ulterra on the front now. Thank you for all of the help and advice along the way!

Outboard is mounted, now just to tidy up wiring, replace the fuel line and the seal on the steering housing, and add my rod holder. Hope everyone is well!

Ray, Thank you very much for the detailed reply, I certainly appreciate it. I’m going to buy a second ionic battery for two reasons, increase my capacity but also, if I decide to go to a 24v trolling motor, I’m already setup with the batteries. The ionic batteries also have the BMS system, very...

Great looking pup you got there, can’t wait to take mine out fishing. He’s slept through a lot of my work but just loves to be in the same room

I’m close guys, the finish line is finally on sight. Wiring is all done, cables are all run. Just need to mount the outboard and wait for a longer steering cable to come in. Will need to do some touch ups with tidying up my mess of wires, riveting the console down, and replacing my deep cycle...

It’s been a while since my last update. Got all the hydroturf down mins my access panel for running cables to the center console. Found out my throttle and shift cable are too short, ordered new ones and should have them Thursday. Originally wanted to put my switches on the center console but...

Still plugging away at it, I have almost all of the metal riveted. Man do street signs take forever, especially trying to ensure there’s a rib or angle at ever seam. I’ve made plenty of mistakes, and really hope hydroturf covers some of my shortcomings. After I get the trolling motor mounted and...

Thank you very much, I appreciate you following the thread

Thank you very much, I’m fortunate to be able to use a family member’s garage. Closest thing I have for now is a 10x14 shed at my place lol.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any updates, got all the framing done and sheeted the floor and front casting deck. Next will be the rear casting deck and then gunnels. Finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, getting excited to put hydro turf down.

One more. I’d like to put my batteries up front. Right now I have a deep cycle and a cranking battery. If I bought a Noco 5x2 and later decided to add a second deep cycle for a total of 3 batteries, I could just wire them in parallel and not have to get a 3 bank charger right? Appreciate any...

Thanks for the replies! Made some more progress today on framing, also cut all my foam (pink xps) and taped the ends. Maybe at some point I’ll add some pour foam but I was so disheartened with how waterlogged the old stuff was and how it blocked all of the drain channels I’m not sold yet. There...

Mist coat and full on the outside, gonna try and do one more on Monday. Wish I had smoothed out or sanded the gluvit more but oh well. It’s a river boat for hunting and fishing.

Got two coats down on the inside today. Parker’s Duck Boat- Marsh Grass

Put 2 brazing sticks into the hull, patched what I thought was necessary, realize now I only took one picture of the brazing. Primed it and coated every rivet and seam with gluv it. My brazing isn’t pretty but it seemed strong. Now to let everything cure. Waiting for my Parker’s marsh grass to...

Was setback today, had every intention of putting gluv it on the rivets inside of the hull and taking care of 2 problem areas with some marine epoxy…. The more I cleaned the more I found. So I decided to set everything down, step away, and go do something else for the rest of the day and leave...

Thank you very much! Hope to make some more progress over the next week

Taking some time off of work, getting a bunch done. Scored a bunch of street signs that I’m going to use for decking, debating having someone weld metal in but after I got the street signs for free I decided I’ll rivet them in and use seaflo or similar doors for my compartments. Found some...
