Wow, thanks for that link. Got lots of ideas from that thread. Not sure how much I should really do to a 12 though. It's definitely got my brain turning.

Any updates?

Not much has changed, been too busy with work and fishing. I've done some work on the trailer but I forgot to take before pictures. I'll try to get some shots tomorrow.

Had a blackened rockfish dinner tonight.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I had a big fishing excursion this past weekend that I had to hustle to get everything ready for. Here is what I was able to throw together in time for the outing, I will be re-doing a few things in the next day or two.

Got an automated call from UPS earlier saying my Steel Flex will be here today, so I should really be able to get some work done this week.

The trip went well, the boat handled nicely from Chesapeake Bay backwaters to freshwater swamps.

Alright, so I was taking my time working on the bottom but now the lady wants to go out on Sunday to try for some croaker. So I have ground most of the old paint off the bottom, filled some dents, ground them out, and washed it down. I think tonight after I get off I'll take some 5200 fast to the seams and hammer some of them back down. Steelflex will happen tomorrow more than likely.

Here's the only place on the bottom I'm not sure what to do with. It doesn't leak at all and this is after I've hammered out and filled what I could.
