Keep working on the name there buddy. After a pink shanty named stinky pinky, you have to see what people can come up with?

I had the same project this year that i'm sure will be ongoing for a while. it's ALOT of fun to do and I don't want to stop working on it! but this is what we got so far...


This is what it looked like after we gutted everything out.





And this is about a month later.






Have fun with that project fishead!

as far as the flooring goes we stayed away from carpet as well. I recommend using some garage floor apoxy paint with some sand added to it for extra grip. it works amazing.

I picked up a 16 foot aluminum boat at a garage sale last year and was wondering what you guys would reccomend for sealing the seams... slow leaks. I already stripped the paint down to bare metal and was gonna find some sort of a sealer to coat the whole boat.

Yea I just picked up a lil 12 foot jon boat and was wondering the same thing??

I was looking for that in a catalog to recomend. Heard good things about it too. Never used it though.

Yeah I saw that on a different web site but I don't know anyone who can vouch for it either.

Just a thought for ya! Try to keep some weight forward so you don't have to over trim the motor to keep the nose down. I put 190lbs of baterries in the front of mine to help. Course if quiters always sitting in the front you won't have to worry about this.

Well this afternoons progress.., I'll be heading to the depot for more supplys. Grab a barley pop and come home and build more. I didnt have any leaks but I did clean up the bottom and used silcone on it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     I used liquid nail to adhear these ribs down                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              then the floor went down                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         some of the front framing.

Looking good. I see you have the scratch pad out I'm guessing you already have a planned layout of how you want it.
