So after having very little luck finding a good aluminum boat for my project, i decided to go with the next best thing i could find and that was this 12' fiberglass columbian. Its much heavier than an aluminum jon boat, but it is VERY stable in the water, much more stable than the 1236 jon i had. Anyway, i'll post some pics now and ill keep posting as the project progresses.
Here is when i first brought it home.
Start the painting process. (Masked off the side molding with playing cards, ive used playing cards to mask a lot of my past projects, mainly wheels.)
Interior paint finished. (I used a heavy duty floor surface paint, similar to bed liner paint.)
I was going to use this cooler as a livewell, but as u can see, it was a little too big...ok it was WAY too big.
Building the framing for the deck. (I used 2x3's...not quite as heavy as 2x4's, but not as flimsy as 2x2's)
The reason why i decided to frame it the way i did was because i didnt want to bolt anything to the boat and i wanted everything to be easily removable.
Thats all the pics i have for now. Keep checking in for updates.
