    Todays project. Seal the wood for the bench. I went with thompsons since I had it instead of spar which I would have prefered. But I will do several coats and paint it. Probably carpet all of it too if I have enough on hand. Also cutting some aluminum to make a dry area. At this point im not...

    Starcraft Garage B&S. (boat and other stuff to talk about)

    Did up two florida hog shoulders this past weekend. Started on the smoker for 5 hours but ran out of time and energy. Honestly just started way too late. So put them in the fridge and started again the next day. Also had a back strap but something wasnt right with the texture. Maybe freezer...

    Well I had some time today and boxed in the one side. Its pretty solid. Ill do the other side maybe tomorrow, but I will first have to trim the foam more incase I end up with a console first. I have the bow facing piece of the side I did cut just rigth so if I have to remove the side wall it too...

    lol, thanks GA and TN! The gas tank may/may not be placed there. If I end up with a console I will end up cutting a hole through there and fit a pvc tube to bring the steering in. If i go tiller I will probably cap it off and run the fuel and power line through the front where there is already a...

    Got the rest cut. only thing now is I am back in the tiller vs remote steer topic. I will need to cut more foam for the cables to go through the hole for them. But thats not a real big deal. Just didnt think about it before going with this route of added foam. I can make it work either way.

    Touched up a little bit on the paint on the splash well. I did all the seams with 5200 and painted those lines too. Also started cutting pieces of foam to fit under the splashwell sides.They are in there good and snug, but im thinking of ways to secure them so they are tight for good. Maybe a...

    So when I took the old transom out, the PO redid the SW drains using PVC pipe and capped them with PVC shaved to be flush with the Splashwell. Is there any reason not to do it this way again and not have to do the flange bolt/nut technique trial and errors? Heres one of the ones from the old...

    Last night I played with my bow and stern light making sure they are good. My dad suggested using my battery charger to do this since I didnt have any spare batteries laying around so I did. But before that I tried to see if a 9V would work and it didnt. Initial test didnt work at all. So I...

    The pnuematic hammer for the solid rivets was 13$ at harbor freight. I had to get everything though. So on a sale day I think I spent just over 200$ for all this. The compressor being the biggest chunk. The heads I got off a website 25-30$?? I think. But some guys on here just made there own...

    here it is all back together. next step is to reverse sides of the walls and recut them to fit back in. But I need more large flange rivets to do that. I might wait to do it to see if I end up with a tiller or console motor again though. that rear deck is a good seat if I can get a tiller now....

    got a few more things done last night and today. I put the transom brackets on with SS lag bolts and washers. put a little 5200 to help keep water from seeping in too. Dabbed some on the back of the brackets to help hold a tight stick also. Then I glued some carpet down on the platform. I didnt...
