,,,Thats the date I'm going to start on my project boat  I need to get it done in time for sea bass, and ling cod this year    Its going to be like stepping out of a compac car into a full size one..

I for one, cannot wait to see the various profanity laced threads that will be forthcoming in regards to this project.

[Hunterman]

Well I already blessed it with a few "F" bombs, and a couple son-of-a- b's when I cut a hole in the bottom..

Hunterman(Tony)

ok just a thought...most boats dont float so good with a hole in the bottom 

[DoubleJ]

  When you get like that, in my head, I can just picture Becky inside shaking her head with a smirk on her face.

[lokidog]

Where's the before picture?

I was fixing the floor  The floor boards were rotten, and I was cutting them out..Who knew that the fiberglass on these boats ain't that thick

And Becky lets me use power tools too

And I bet not for long. Is Quick Draw overseeing this job.

[rasbo]

that hole in the bottom of the boat is where you throw your money

[runamuk]

that is a questionable idea there....you've seen those two together  that poor boat might end up with more than hole in the bottom

[Hunterman]

No,, the only thing she does with boats is fish out of them..I'm on my own, until I ask for money..Then Becky wants a list of things she can say no too..

Very happy day in my life was when I bought a boat.  Very happy day in my life was when I sold a boat.

[Hunterman]

Ok,,I'm going to try to down load some pics

Looks cool huh 

Hunterman(Tony)

[runamuk]

EWWWWW that is a mess

[buckhorn2]

Nice steering wheel.

[PolarBear]

Wholy crap, did you get that off of the reservation? 

[runamuk]

oh no you didn't 

[Jerbear]

People, back off.  Those of us with nautical knowledge, know the hole in the bottom was on purpose.  That is where he is installing the through the hull sonar sensor.  I also like the way he is planning for emergency meals.  If you look closely you can see the start of the botanical garden inside the hull..  Yum Yum, watercress and alge sandwitches.  Looking forward to seeing the finished item.  With that said, I would like to remind you that I am 72 years old, and have a heart problem.  You know, just saying.  On the serious side, take your time, and enjoy.   

[buckhorn2]

Jerbear are you hinting that you would like to be the first mate on the new boat he Named Big Hole in the Bottom on it;s maiden trip out. He said the hole will help him spot crabs better and him keep low profile. He was going to make a new pole-can hardly wait to see that.

[Austrian Hunter]

Double up on life jackets!!! And maybe survival suits before you get on the water.

[runamuk]

I dare you to name it "Big Hole in the Bottom"  that would be awesome

[rasbo]

I could bring in some nice cabezon through that hole

[Hunterman]

If I didn't know any better,     I would think that y'all are trying to make me feel bad  but I know that can't be true..

You hit that nail on the head Jerbear 

Y'all are just jealous that your boat ain't this purdy.. 

Thanks for the comment on the sering whele Del 

Rasbo,,I'd have to cut the intire bottum out of the boat for the cabezon you catch 

The name on this one will be "Lady Becky ll"

[huntergreg]

What kind of power do you have for the boat?

No need for the servival suits,,we don't fish in that deep of water,,do we Del 

I'm going to put my 48Hp Evenrude for now..Thinking of putting a 115Hp on it later..

Hope you got an Epirb for Christmas!   
I can't give you too much crap, I've built and re-built several boats (commercial and pleasure) myself.  The last one I help turn a 24 foot bomber style boat into a aft cabin bow picker gillnetter for a buddy.  It is a pain in the butt, but a lot of fun as well.  Good luck!

This one is my 5th boat that I've redone..This will more than likely be my last one (if the boss lady has her way  )  She's going to be real nice when I'm done with her     ( Hope she floats  )

That might be just a bit too much of a shock to her    I was thinking more about a shower with the garden hose 

Hunterman(Tony)

[buckhorn2]

Just having fun kidding you Tony hope you can get her put together so we can get out there and fill her up with fish. Keep putting up the progress pictures. How long is this boat.

[lokidog]

Just saw those pics, you've got your work cut out for you.   

[Camp David]

I've rebuilt a few boats also....A lot more fun than working on cars. Your doing it correctly by taking it down and removing all of the ugly
