    Southern Maryland Tolman Jumbo Build [Splashed 2017]

    Green.... definitely green. I didn't build the transom splash well until now. I was able to get in and out of the boat easily through the transom.... Now not so much. I have to use a ladder to get in or climb in over the shelf. Scupper installed with fiberglass tubes.

    Southern Maryland Tolman Jumbo Build [Splashed 2017]

    A little bit of fairing going on. Fir ply requires more work to fair than some other kinds like Okome I'm using graphite suspended in epoxy for the bottom: It takes a few coats of graphite/epoxy but it looks good when done. Time to flip!

    Southern Maryland Tolman Jumbo Build [Splashed 2017]

    I decided to build a Tolman Jumbo a couple of years ago. I restored a few older aluminium Starcraft boats, but wanted something bigger and worthy for some near shore fishing. It took about a year of research and reading and pulled the trigger on the build last August (2016). I have taken so...

    What these guys said! Here's a picture cause a picture is worth a thousand words: The white board is what marc c is talking about. This position worked OK for me but I did have to tweek the transducer a little to get a good reading at speed.

    1974 Chieftan 21' 165 Mercruiser I/O

    Finished painting up the seat / gas tank boxes. I used the Restore concrete paint and some anti skid flakes. While waiting for the paint to dry, I decided to start working on the new seat cushion. The guy I bought the used seats from put a horrible fitting cushion in the captains chair...

    I finished up the tackle cabinet for the cabin I built the shelves pretty tight for the removable trays. There's a lip on the shelf to keep the trays in if the door is open and the boat is rock'in. I also got the new helm seats all cleaned up and built the new gas tank covers. The...
