Here are some pics of some rails I put on this bad boy of an air boat this weekend. Customer wanted angle iron mid rail to attach his lights, made this job a lil trickier than most.

Here are a few pics of a center console I built for a guys boat. Sorry for the sideways pics, I couldnt rotate them.

Here's a project I recently completed for one of my customers.

Thought I'd post a few pics of these floundering gig boxes that I am currently building. Whatcha think?

I know there have been countless posts regarding float pods, I don't know if anyone has done a complete step by step post on building and installing a set, so I thought I would. Before I begin though let me say that this is the way I do it, I'm not saying that my way is the only way or the best...

OK, here is yet another build I currently have going. This boat belongs to a gentleman named James, he lives on the island (Galveston). James has a really nice rig, I can't recall the manufacturer of this hull, but it is one that I have never seen before, I like the design of it. I will get...

Here is another build I currently have going on at my shop. The owner (Damon) lives close to me in Bubbaville, TX. Damon is a pleasant guy to be around, he is quite humorous, however he tends to worry or dwell on petty issues a tad bit. When he first brought his boat to me he wasn't quite sure...

Here's another build I recently did. I had a guy from Round Rock, Texas call me about some modifications to his Alweld hull, I'm like Round Rock? That's north of Austin, how these guys find me I have no idea, as I'm in the Galveston area. Anyhow, Randy (the owner) brings his 16' er to me and...

Seems I've been getting in a lot of busted/beat up hulls in here lately, to tell the truth I'm gettin tired of working on rotten boats, but work = money. Anyhow, I had this guy give me a call about his boat, it is another monster, I didn't measure it, but it is at least 20' long, 5'-6" wide on...

I had a guy from Rock Port, Texas give me a call inquiring about a flounder conversion on his 18'-6" Weld Craft. I was like Rock Port? That's at least 2.5 hrs from me? Thought I'd never hear from him again. Well guess what he showed up, we discussed what he wanted, he is wanting a front rail job...

I've been working on boat railings, flounder rigs, leaning posts, etc.... which all involve pipe fabrication, as some of you might know. Up until now, I have been using a pattern to mark or layout my "fishmouth", miters or saddles as some fabricators call em. I would then simply take my 4"...

I posted a pic of this monster in another topic on this forum. While I didn't actually build anything on this rig, I thought I would show you what was done to literally save this boat from the scrap yard. The owners told me they picked up this boat fairly cheap, after they ripped up the floor...

Had and older gentleman contact me about his 15' Jon, seems he had bad knees and could not walk back n fourth on his Jon without some kind of aid of railing. No problem, This is what i did for him, While it might look like a lot of rail to most of us for a 15' footer, This elderly gentleman can...

Whats up guys, Its Rod again with another boat mod. Due to the USW strike going on here at Marathon Refinery in Texas City, I had to place ads on the web to generate some work for me at my shop. I have had a few hits, but mostly just price quotes. Anyhow, I got this 18'er to work on, its a nice...

Most of yall know me by my boat " The Poormans Boatright". I had a guy get a hold of me the other day stating he had seen my build on Tin Boats and on 2Coolfishing, he was interested in doing some mods to his Weld Craft. So I drove over to his house to see what all he wanted to do. Steven (the...

As some of you might already know my rusty old axle broke on me the other day, luckily in my driveway. After pricing what a new galvanized axle would cost (around $300), I decided to build my own. Only I used stainless pipe for the axle, this should out live the boat. I had to order the 2" round...

I bought this neat double sided bolt bin from Northern Tool, comes in hand for sorting all your nuts and bolts etc.

I decided to start using my trolling motor on the boat, only problem was with the rails and the raised front casting deck the stock shaft was too short. So what I decided to do was lengthen the shaft. It really was not a big deal doing it and a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a longer shaft...

I got to thinking about electrolysis on boats, what makes the pits and eating away at the aluminum? So I'm wondering if motors have a anode why not the hull? We all know electrolysis corrosion is a problem with aluminum hulls, right? So I thought why Don't aluminum hulls have a sacrificial...

Here's what I do after using my trailer when I'm done cleaning the boat. I simply put a lawn sprinkler under the boat and let it do the work of washing the salt off the wheels, axles, springs, hardware, etc. Then go enjoy a cool beverage. Trailers are the #1 thing neglected on a boat, by washing...
