Decided to accept Kyle's constructive critique.

I figured he has cussed a raft more times than I have.

Damn. Yer raft is all nice and shit and you have places to put things. Mine is just a frog pond and my sandwiches are always soggy. Maybe i should be working on the boat i already have.
It's all shit, piss and bliss.

Botes are over rated! Someone needs to buy my carp bote, my old one that is. Kyle it would look nice sitting in your driveway.

Hey Snag, make sure your mounting hardware is stainless or at least galvanized... Rust sucks.

Me too, it was giving me crap this morning.  Wouldn't let me access my ablums.

No it is always messing with me, it freezes up mostly or won't let me copy the link and just runs slower than sh*t. I think they are growing out of thier server and they just need to update thier system

So I found one! It's a beater by god.

This was his mamma's exact reaction(without the smile or any joy at all)

It's a tiny little thing. 14/36. Beat to hell, but I bet it floats, and I can't wait to add some personal touches. It seriously does need some real work. The trailer was making a fucked up noise the whole 100+mile trip home. What the hell is that, i wondered? Probably nothing. Oh, it's just the leaf spring completely loose and banging around. No biggie.

That's a solid looking ride Bullship..I bet you'll have that thing up to scratch in no time..
Today I got to put the final coat of paint on the bench seat..Two or three days to cure and I can bolt it on..
Didn't take pics when I dry fit it, but it fit perfectly which is always nice when something has already been glued and screwed..

Hey Matt, that looks like it would double as a duck hunting boat too!


bullship

It definitely would, but unless a duck looks like a pbr can at 15 yards i don't stand a chance.

HA.  I haven't shot at anything that was flying through the air in probably 10 years, although I'm sure it comes back pretty quickly.  Maybe you could start with throwing the cans into the air...that should keep the wife happy too since you can do that at the house.

This morning I finally got to install the new seat in the bote..
With the new configuration it has turned into a much more efficient fish hunting machine..
Can't wait to get her back out on the water.. /'/

That looks fuckin sweet BRA! Nice work. i got a little time to do some boring stuff to mine over the last few days. Filled it up with water and got a sharpie in hand to mark the leaks. I expected it to look like a tropical storm under there, but this was the only one...

Did my best to bang out the big dents before painting the hull. It kind of helped. Straightened out the nose a bit, and patched a few gashes. It's a beater through and through, so I'm not spending much time actually fixing shit.
