I have been working on this on and off for about three months. Almost done I have to put grass rails on and paint then grass it up.

Thing looks like a tank. Looking good!

Looks good

Nice!

Im ready to put the grass on it and chase some ducks.

What are the strips of 2x on the outside?

They are the brace for the grass rail. I will run two of them one bout two inches from the top and one three inches from the bottom. I will use some grass mates I made last year on the side and roll then over the top and have a beach chair on the inside. Kind of like a laydown blind

Gotcha. Is this one of those designs from Toller Boatworks? I like the looks of it, just not the weight.

It's one of the gator boat.com plans we did some of our own things to it.

Put primer in today

Looks great man!

First coat of green on today.

You got some wacky stuff on your walls lambi, I'd enjoy snooping around your garage lol!

Boat looks good. I'd like to have one of these for jr and I

This is my uncle shop. He has some random stuff next time I'm there I'll take a pic of the CNC that he has. It's what we use to cut all the parts for the boat with. Put it in the computer and let it do the work.

Hey is the most updated pic of the boat she is looking sexy just need to put the grass on

Nice! Lookin good.

I really like that thing. I've toyed with the idea of building one for a while now, but the one thing that keeps me from doing it is the cost of a motor for it. What size are you going to use?

christ assa, I just gave a 9.9 to one of my workers, outboards are like stray cats around here.

Yeah they all have arrow holes in them.

I have a Nissan 15 I'm going to put on it and also my talk my dad out of his Johnson 25

Motorcycle bungee net?

And you've got a hole in the front of your boat
(the eye bolt)

Yeah that's a net. I'll grass it and also be able to store stuff under it. And yes it's an eye hook for the trailer to hook to it.

not just rich folks, rich folks that have lake houses to vacation at, they buy a motor for little jimmy to learn to drive a boat, little jimmy spends two weeks a year at the house. Three years later little jimmy wants a jet ski and the motor just sits. A few years after that the moor ends up at a garage sale or catching the eye of some builder...

damn.

We just picked up a Yamaha 25 for $200 not far from you last weekend. Starts on the first pull.

Do you guys find these deals on craigslist or is it just random word of mouth?


BTW Lambi, boats looking real good. Go get 'er bloody

I was wondering the same thing, because I never find crap on CL.

Assa you gots to know the right watermen and visit some very wierd people to buy them. I had the pleasure of buying this motor from a guy called Mercury Dave. WOW. In the first five minutes he sat in his front lawn which was 3 ft tall, pulled his shoes off and showed me his chigger infestation. I nearly puked. Of course I took my wife back the next day to buy the motor. Didnt want her to miss out on the fun. I'd like to put this one on my duck boat but it got mounted on the skiff for working oysters.

When you get right let me know what you want and I'll put the word out. I found this one within a week a long with a few others I passed on.

Sounds good, brother.
