Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default I'm making some progress

I've got the floor (deck to make 5Knives happy ) cut out and glassed on the underside. I've
put marine undercoat on the topside. And I'm starting to rivet it in place.

I still have to rivet in aluminum braces around the bilge opening and the live well.

I'll give it one coat of marine enamel after I'm done riveting it in place.

I have my Grizzly Grip rubber coating ordered. I should have it by end of the week.

I still need to make a new console for the steering and controls.







That brown stuff is sawdust from using a hole saw to cut out for the seat base.

Looks good enough to go fishing in. At least it's clean.

Oh yeah. I'm gonna do that for sure. I've got to do a major cleaning before I'm ready to apply the rubber coat.

Don't forget the important stuff, like having enough cold beer storage, and perhaps a clay thrower bolted to the transom.

I got a little more done today. I installed the fish live well and the fittings. And I fitted the upper deck parts. I've still got to prime and paint some of the upper deck parts. And I'm going to put the truck bed coating on both sides of the upper deck parts because of the live well.

And I got all of the lower deck riveted down. Next is the steering and control console. I hope my truck bed coating stuff arrives by the end of the week.









Here is the original bilge access grate. I don't know what kind of wood it is. Probably either teak or mahogany, but none like I've used before. It just needs a little cleaning, then I'm going to put some preservative on it.

Yeah, I'm pulling a tarp over it every night. It's rained here a couple of times, and slowed my progress. It's fairly waterproof right now except for that one piece of bare wood. The rest of it has been painted with marine primer and one coat of marine enamel. I've also sprayed some touch up where I've drilled holes.

I'll re-sand everything before I apply the rubber coat.

I haven't got much headroom if I pull it into my garage. I'd rather work in the shade of my big old pin oak tree.
