frizzle and waterboy thank you, really looking forward to fishing on it.



The boat is coming long with everything getting finalized for paint. The console has been to the plastics guy and to bosch aluminum for some small stuff. The hull is pretty much ready for paint and the console is on its way there. Randy suggest he put a layer of mat over the console to prevent any of the splicing from the console from cracking.
I made randy keep the insignia on the from of the old engine box to remind me never use an engine box for the front of a console/livewell....

Billy,

Another great looking boat. . They are doing nice work and you stopped punishing yourself.

What Duratec primer did they use and how much did it take for the boat?

I am still punishing myself but the end is in sight

as much as I enjoy doing the work and seeing how far I can push myself to make different things, our second child arrived last spring and my business getting busier I just don't have the playtime anymore. I am glad I brought it to Randy to finish it up and to a level I am happy with.

Very nice Bill!! Just wait until you get it painted and the "bling" installed, shiny new hardware makes it look really sweet and finished!!
