My new project
« on: November 02, 2011, 05:08:14 PM »
Just picked up this little treasure for 60 bucks.  I have 4 holes in the bottom, all very small and slow leaks with the expection of the one in the photo.  I will patch the holes when I find a alumium welder. After I get the holes patched I will  start the stripping of the paint job, and paint it one of my favoirte colors WWII OD :IBCOOL: I plan on keeping the battery box, but the seats will go.

Did you use PVC pipe and rope?  Im looking at as lightweight as possible.  There is on boat launch where I hunt, and its a carry it to the water deal.  Usually Im hunting alone, so weight is my biggest concern.

Nope...wanted it tough so we could bash it around for years....  1/2 electric conduit, conduit bender.... nylon netting, then tied on with duck decoy cord. Dressed with fake grass, fake cattails....  :IBCOOL:


All the sections drop into my rod holders in the boat... I did place a few extra holder to pick up all the points I needed for support...  In the off season we stash the camo and go trouting...

Here is a pic of the interior of the boat in use. Hunts three guys, sort of.... My buddy and my son in the pic. You can see the pipe coming thru the rod holder...

Been sanding the heck out of the boat, and Im only 75% done :bash:  There must be 20 coats of paint and not having a flat surface makes it a challange.  Hopefully I can get the boat ready before the end of the year.
