been awhile since i've posted anything,still working got good bit done,but not finished yet i have to many pics to post. put aerator in livewell lights in livewell, bilge pump, dual bank battery charger etc...

Looks like you have good ideas. To help you with drilling the pieces of aluminum together, use visegrips to clamp them together then drill and rivet together. That will help a lot. Lowes sells a Hitachi miter saw for about 100 bucks that would be a very good investment for this project. i also...

Very nice build looks great. The only thing I see wrong is that you riveted the aluminum to the wood when you attached your frame to the boat. I don't think it will hold long. You might want to drill out those rivets and put stainless screws in. Just my thoughts, otherwise you did a fantastic job.

Heres some pics of a little progress,some backwards and forwards.

Finally had a little time to work on boat. I don't know yet about what I'm doing about the steering issue, but I got a coat of fiberglass resin put on all the wood I added. I order a set of Beavertail pods for the back. Should be here next week. I got some 2 x 2 x 3/16 aluminum and some more...

ok

Don't think I would use butcher block, to many joints to fail if not glued with waterproof glue.

Do you drive the boat with rear seat up or down?

Looks good! It feels good to see something you did yourself. Good job!

Gotta little bit more done on the deck frame and battery platform. Still haven't figured out my steering issue yet. Here's a few more pics.

Started thinking about my steering issue, and saw my 1/2 drive swivel and the wheel started turning. Let ya'll know how it turns out.

Here's some more pics, got the front furred up and the seat receiver put in, and half of the starboard. My rivet gun broke,only got 1 rivet in brace is why it's still clamped. Have to get another.

That just might work. I'll make one out of wood with small universal joint and try it thanks. Been doing some more work and will post more pictures soon.

Thought about that but don't know if want to sit without my feet under me. Already have the setup for a high low seat. I'll have to think some more about this.

I need some help to figure out what to do about my steering problem. When I raise my rear seat the tiller handle is to short. Thought about adding extension but it will hit seat or will be unreachable when turning. I don't really want stick steering unless I can do it with a joystick. Thinking...

I have been looking at a finish for my cypress deck called waterlox. Has anyone had any experience with this product?

The livewell was already in the center seat which I cut out. The (poll) is support for center seat which will be mounted to the wood behind it. Gonna put more frame and support in front, but haven't decided where yet.

This is what it looked like before I started this project.

still working little by little
