This thread was great to watch.  What an incredible job posting pics and keeping us all updated on your work progress.  Make sure to take some pictures of her on the water this year with some Big Ol' Crappies in it!  Great job Manny. Wink

About all I can do, Got all the hardware on and 3 coats of marine varnish on all the exposed wood. I ended up sealing and protecting the name by hand painting over the lettering with varnish. I also installed the recessed drink holders Wink
I wish I could of had these final pictures outside in the water but were suppose to get 2 to 5 inches of snow tommorow. ehhhhhhhh
Ive had it with this winter ! Ill get more pics with crappie in hand in the boat. Grin

Thanks, All for you comments  Grin

I finially got it out today, we had a little sun and just enough of a heat wave to melt the ice.

Took me a little to get the oaring down but it work fine !

Only fish for an hour or so but did manage to catch one 3 inch Gill o'well Roll Eyes

Gonna get the fish finder hooked up soon. I think with a little more weight in it, it will track better ( or I learn to oar )

Really fun and the first real fish I catch out of this boat is getting mounted.... LOL
