No Title

Got the rod locker and small storage door built.

 

[Watermann]

Oh yeah that's going to be a great motor for your Lund. So are you going on late night raiding parties across the 49th to find all these boats? :lol:

 

[budski]

I think it will a great motor as well, actually I bought the Lund here in Winnipeg and the Sylvan in Kenora Ontario.

No Title

We got the drivers side panels and door attached, the rear end caps were broken and one was missing so my son fabricated and welded new aluminum ones.

 

[Watermann]

Really nice work, you're making me want a new project.

 

[budski]

No Title

Thanks Rob, we got the drivers dash and the windshield, installed most of the wiring done, also added a boarding ladder.

 

[budski]

No Title

Added a couple of SS grab handles.

 

[Watermann]

Hey nice bling I see going on there. :encouragement:

So you don't have the helm and nav seat base in yet or the holes in the decking for them what's the plan there?

 

[budski]

We are using non removable pedestals for both driver and passenger seats, they don't require holes in the floor, and we put reinforcing aluminum plates under the floor below where the seat bases mount so the screws have something to grab to.

 

[budski]

No Title

These are the type of bases we are going to use.

 

[budski]

No Title

Got all the decals removed now to sand and prep for new paint.

 

[Watermann]

Looks like you have a little dent to deal with too.

 

[budski]

Actually there are a few little dents to deal with, found out that body filler has a hard time adhering to aluminum so we pushed them out as much as possible then sand out the scratches , we've decided to paint the boat with a satin paint instead of high gloss,

 

[budski]

No Title

We got it painted

 

[chevymaher]

Looks nice good job.

 

[budski]

Thanks chevy

 

[Watermann]

Oh yeah I like that finish, looking super nice! So how the heck do you guys paint the bottom without having the hull in the turtle position?

 

[budski]

Thanks Rob, we didn't paint the bottom it is in great condition, so we decided to leave it original.

 

[Watermann]

Oh okay, I thought there was some super secret Budski's method we weren't privy to. :lol:

 

[budski]

No secret there Rob we just got lucky there with the bottom about the only thing easy about this rebuild
