Default Coming Along....

Well Guys, we got the platform done and fabbed-up. All we need to do now is move the battery box, build a new battery box for the TM, fix the leaking carb on the motor, and FISH!

Here's a few pics for 'ya. We didn't carpet it, but we had it done for free by a guy my Dad worked for. 'Bout $75 later, here she is...





What do 'ya think!?

That looks real good lunk. Is that plywood? What thickness? I have one of those style hatches on my little boat. Be forewarned, they are advertised as watertight but rain will get in. To what type frame are you going to mount it?

I'm fixin to trade for another boat. I'm gettin like Zooker. This is gonna be a 15 foot starcraft modified V. Its just a hull, so I'm fixin to go through that same type path. Done it once before on a 13' Sears, I'm really looking forward to applying what I've learned with a larger boat.

PS, who'se leapard skin shawl is that in the background. Yours? Well its a risk, but if you're comfortable wearin that sorta thing...

IT'S A BLANKET! LOL.... It's nice and warm...

As to the platform... Yes, it is plywood, 3/4" thick, and then covered with marine-grade carpet.

Bama, I'm actually doing that on my next boat. Green OD camo outside of course, but on the inside I am really going to find Crimson auto paint for the gunwhales with grey marine grade carpet and white trim. And logos, lots of bama logos.

We're still going to re-wire the trailer. It is really goofey.

We also want to mix sand and paint and paint the bottom of the boat with this mixture. It should give grip, and look cool!
