when are we going to see a report of a catch in your new flounder boat?

X-Shark · 09-01-2010, 03:45 PM

Gotta finish the boat first. LOL.

The absolute #1 question that people ask when your building a boat is "Whens it gonna be done?"

The answer is when it's finished........but with that said. I have blinders on......trying not to have distractions until it is done. Waiting on paint to cure enough right now so we can get it flipped and back on the trailer.

Then you will stuff come together quick, because it's already been designed, fitted, mounted and taken off again for paint. So it will mostly all just bolt back together.

Took the trailer and weighed it yesterday. [540lbs]

Anyway a guy had stopped behind me at a Red Light. Then proceeded to ram me from behind.
It bent some brackets and sheered the lag screws off that are in the bunks.

He made restoration to me for my trouble. I then spent a little more and made the bunks 4ft longer. They are now 12ft long. They were 8ft long.

I've been busy burning the midnight oil. Monday I was still in the shop at 1:00am Tuesday morning.
Tuesday Dwayne Creery of DB Signs .....1-850-284-1519 was out there with me until 11:30pm and look what he brought with him.

Here's just a few pix's of whats going on, but still have a LOT more to do.

House Battery & Jackplate pump.

Chances are good for a water test this Sunday.

Installed a Rudder Zinc to protect the hull.

Starting Battery

BEP Cluster Switch.

Rigging tube going from the STB side into the console.

That thing is coming together really nice. Can't wait to see the finished product.
