you have done a great job... and what lucky kids you have to have such a cool dad i'm sure they are very proud of their father.

 

[russ010]

that is one awesome boat... I bet you can't wait to get it in the water!

I'm glad you had your kids involved... it's something they were a part of and will remember for years down the road. Now I know why I followed my dad like a shadow... it's amazing what a kid can learn from watching

Thanks for the kind words and yeah the kids love the outdoors so I try to get 'em out as much as possible. Na, this is my first boat and first attempt at a project like this but I have always been kinda interested in working wood and building stuff.

I'll be trying my hand at painting it next so look for some new pics in the coming weeks.

Thanks again.

lol, kids are a hoot! Man, the boat's looking great! I'll tell you, I had similar seats, they aren't the best for big guys. You'll probably decide to upgrade in the near future, at least for the seat you spend most of your time in.


Good job on the boat!

That looks great, the carpet and hatches look really good. That last pic cracks me up, it looks like your son was holding a smile for 10 minutes.

Here are the newest updates to the project. I've installed a few items since the last update to include the bateery and some wiring for lights and future accessories. I painted the outside of the boat in honor of the Dallas Cowboys plus I kinda liked the color, hope it lasts a while. Lastly, the wife and I took it out to the lake for a test run, specifically to see how the old evinrude would run. After a buit of smoke at the beginning I think it ran wuite well for an older engine I got off an auction a few months ago. Anyway, hope you guys and gals enjoy the update, more to come as time allows. Thanks again for your positive and helpful comments.

Hello to all, finally had some time to install a few mods and probably won't do more until I finally get a trolling motor, hopefully for X-mas
Anyway, thanks and good luck on the water. Some of the items added are a bilge pump, thru-transom pump for filling the baitwell, baitwell pump for aeration and lastly I attempted to make a set of guide-ons for the trailer. They need to be sturdier so that'll be a project for another day. Well, hope y'all enjoy the pics. I welcome all comments and suggestions, thanks again.
