Yep your never really done . She gets sprayed down and wiped dry after every trip . And I use soap after we fish in it ! Nothing worse than finding an old shrimp head that got missed after a few days !

:lol: yeah someone suggested I do something with those old paddles a while back . I stole those out of Chris's boat ,sanded them down and restained them . I am in the middle of making some rod holders out of oak to go in the gunwales .. Have not decided yet if I will add some accent stripes to the paddle's .. They look pretty nice just plain .

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

A bit more wood accent pieces .. :joyous:
Luckily I left the lower rub rail bolts long so I was able to fasten the bottom of the rod holders to them with a piece of angle . For the tops I think I can angle a screw through the hull top lip and into the under cap edge filler . May add some caulking to it also .

Thanks for dropping in Zool I appreciate the complement !

Yeah it kinda breaks up all the green paint nicely. Got a big job starting in about a week . Ya know the 4 month job that should
normally take 6 months to complete . Hoping I can still sneak in a little boat time soon ..

Showstopper!

Well I have to give you part of the credit ! Was your idea to do something with those old paddles .

Now if you can just stop anything from the inside from getting wet...

Ya know at some point there must have been a cover that snapped over the side hard top openings and around the whole back end . I must have patched a 100 or so snap button holes ..

Looks great SP, I like the wood accents w/ the (whatever you call it) blue & white

The actual color I took from the seats was called Independence China Green . But for forum purposes I call it SP green ..

Very cool... Very cool.

With you brand e-tec (yeah, I'm jealous) those paddles are definitely add more style than utility
