^^^I see what you mean Jb , square the front of the stripe up a bit and it would look much better . That would be an easy fix ..^^

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

The Blue Flamingo got relegated to #2 in my OWN FAMILY!!!! My Son Saw me perusing your Thread on Saturday and I told him about your build and he told me I needed to take lessons from you and build your seat bases and seats, find a Hard top like yours, build a Splashwell like yours and put the antiskid steps on the Gunwales like you did. Man, I'm the Rodney Dangerfield of iBoats now in my own Family!!!!!:facepalm: But... I must say...I AGREE!!!!!!

Nothing but big time respect coming from my way !;)
BTW I can,t take credit for the antiskid gunwale steps . Those were molded in from the factory ..

All I know is.... If you're sayin I'm the Teacher then You are one HECK of a Student!!!!!
I wish there would come a day that the BF and Your Boat, what ever her name turns out to be, could one day end up in the same lake floating side by side. THAT would be a DAY!!!!!

Now THAT is a thought. Once you get her finished, splashed and thoroughly tested, that just might have to be some kind of a plan. Find a 1/2 way Lake and see what we could work out. I LIKE it!!!!!

My hometown is about halfway between you guys... I'd buy a ticket to these 2 rigs floating in the same lake...

That sounds like a cool plan . Heck I,m sure the S/N would be ready by then and Decker ain,t far up the road . We could hang out on Deckers Ark and shoot the breeze a bit !
Btw , next month I will be meeting up with some other Iboat crew members over in Apalachicola Fl . Everyone is welcome to come if you can make it ..
