Some pic updates. I have the whole inside complete. Don't have pictures of the carpeted floor and hatches but they are done. I also put one more coat of paint on the inside and clearcoated it. Just have to flip it over, sand the outside from the waterline up and paint. So close to being done.

Hey man nice work so far. I like the large storage hatches, if I redo mine it will have large hatches like yours. The paint has come out real well. Did you seal the wood supports in your boat? Looks good sofar.
 
Yes I spar urathaned all the wood. You can see in the pictures except for the decking for the floor. Its done now but I didn't take pics after I sparred and carpeted it. Thanks its been a long process.
 
LOOKING GOOD MAN!! IM PRETTY HAPPY WITH MINE S FAR BUT I LIKE THE CENTER SECTION OF YOURS LOOKS LIKE IT ADDED ALOT OF STORAGE, IM ALREADY OUTTA ROOM IN MINE :shock:
 
Getting really close to being done. Here are some updated pictures. I basically have the boat done besides a few minor details.

Great looking project. =D> I noticed that you fished Potato Creek. As I recall that is a total electric lake. Is you boat going to be total electric or are you going to put on a gas motor also?
 
I got a 9.9 mercury that I'm gonna buy from my buddy. Just won't drop it at the creek. I need a gas motor for some of the other lakes I plan on hitting.
 
Hey man I got an 81' Mirrocraft Deep Fishermen...and I plan on doing the same that you are...just with my decks at a lower center of gravity...dont want to take the chance of going over....anywho...i was wondering if you had put in any foam underneath your floor...i plan on doing so....did you put in any livewells? I want to...and I want to have storage in the rear. Maybe do some storage like yours in the floor but have it horizontal and smaller hatches. All in all...stellar work bud! I want to see more! Maybe make an album....i d k...ijs.... 8)
 
No foam or livewells. I basically catch and release and guess i'll let her sink if the problem arises. There is plenty of room for a livewell in these boats.
