Lil Bitz, a 15ft john boat modifcation

How bad were the bugs on the spoil islands? Cant beat the veiw from Riverside. Good fishing under the Barber bridge too!

They weren't bad at all, it was a few weeks ago, but the longer in the summer the worse the no see em's get. To me they never really bother me but some of my friends complain a lot about getting eatin up (not this trip though).

The Mickey's aren't getting in the way of working on my boat as much as work is unfortunately. But I have almost 2 weeks off coming up so I have plans to work on the boat and get a few things done. The harsh reality of life, is work work work.

As promised I am finally posting some fishin photos...a few redfish and some nice bass action...

 

[Gators5220]

Yet some more fishin photos...

So I got a little framing done on my new back seat, which is a Yeti cooler. The goal with making the back seat the cooler is mostly to save some room. It's a pain in the rear to have a huge cooler taking up leg room in the front. I got a good start on it, but it's far from done, here are some photos...

A few more photos of the rear cooler / seat setup.

A few more photos, in the future I want to completely frame in around the cooler, diamond plate the face just like the front of the boat and put plywood over the top so you can stand on the sides if need be...

Got some more framing done on the boat, I'll post some pictures in the mornin...

So i got some framing done on the center area the other day, this will hold the livewell which is the bucket you see in the photos. When Im done both of these rails will be wrapped in diamond plate and i want to add a third recirculating pump to the bucket.

Got a bit more framing done on the live well, photos are below.

Got some more framing done for the livewell today, hopefully i can finish this up soon, bur ive noticed everything takes longee than i think it originally would.

 

[Gators5220]

Got some more framing done on the boat, here are a few pictures of the progress. These pieces I added are for the diamond plate to be attached too.

Looking good keep them coming :beer:

Thanks bud, Im gonna try to finish up the middle and diamond plate it in tlmorrow. My main issue on why this project has taken so long is I love fishin too much, so on days off Im more motivated to fish then to work on my boat...
