Project "A Little Snookered" New Pics 03-19-2012 !!!!!

[fool4fish1226]

Still have my loose ends to finish up, between the holidays, fishing, working, and the busted pipe in our bathroom (which must have been leaking for a while before we noticed) I have had no spare time for "A Little Snookered". I think I should be able to finish it up soon and will post pictures as I go.

I must say this is a great site, I continue to get new ideas and learn something new all the time.

Just a few fun pics to hold you all over (These are two of our four babies just doing what bulldogs do)

Love the pics. Beautiful dogs f4f. I just HAD to post some pics of one of my girls. She actually happened to be laying right next to me when I was reading your post
The third one was just too good to leave out.
The other one is petrified of the camera so i've never been able to get her on film.
I guess she's afraid it'll take her soul or something :LOL2:

where did you get the rectangle lighta on the bow and stern?
are they bright enough to be used a bank light night fishing?
how much grizzly coat did you use for the whole boat?

The lights are driving lights I picked up at advanced auto. They are pretty bright I use them when getting into tight spots at night.

I used almost five quarts of grizzly. All the decks (Front, main, and rear) have two coats on them.

I am very pleased with the product so far, it is holding up very well.

Had a Basspro gift card and decided to pick up a hydrofoil for the boat. Here are a few before and after shots of the installation.

Looks Great! Would yo mind telling me a little more about that power pole type thing you have. I wanna do somthing like that on my boat for shallow water anchoring, like fishng beds, etc.

JBF here is a link to the anchor pins I used

I have one on the front and back of my boat. They are one the best investments I made!!! They work great so much easer then messing with a standard anchor, chain, and rope.

Have you had the dogs out on the boat yet?? I was wondering if they had any effect on the grizzly grip? I should be finishing up within the next couple of weeks but I was thinking of ordering extra in case they tear it up with their nails.

Hey Foolforfish, I love your build and you have given me a bunch of ideas for my build. Could you please explain how you determined you angle cuts for your deck support? I really like the way that looks and plan on doing that to mine. Awesome job on your build.......I too plan on making my boat a snook getter/lab transport vehicle...... :lol:

RatherB sorry for the delayed response. I have not had the dogs on the boat as of yet but I think the grizzly will hold up to the dog's nails. I am pretty rough on things and I have had no issues at all.

Let me know how yours holds up.

Bigwave: The deck supports were a pain the butt. Each board was just a little different. I used a lot of card board for templets to get the angles correct. Just take your time, use some type of templet and you should be fine.

Well I got a little work done this past weekend. I finally made the new bow cap that was on my punch out list. One down a few more to go.

Heres a few pics

Hope that's not your blood on there. I know I've got more than a few drops in mine.

No it's not blood THIS TIME!!! Actually I am not sure what got on it but it comes off with a little elbow grease.

 

[fool4fish1226]

No real updates still have a few items on the old punch list but I do have to say I love the way the boat fishes very stable and sips fuel.

Heres a picture of the first 2012 snook (23") short I know but fun just the same. The 28"-32" slot limit is like hitting the lottery for me either I am short or over just can't seem to get in between.

Nice first snook, I cant wait to get mine. Nice to see ya standing in the boat on the water.
