Hatches are back on, cap is sealed to the hull and ready for rub rail. Also added new flex trim to all hatch openings

oh for sure. They are next on the list. Carol is awesome. She is suppose to be tracking down a live well separator for me, but I will end up having to modify it to fit since its gonna be a ranger part.

She also tracked these down for me






Found the steering wheel on Craigslist out in Arkansas. Tough to find those bad boys

Plexiglass can be used for that.

Awesome job bruh.

I thought I wasn't scared to dive in a project boat.

I'm about done with a CC restore now and have an older stratos bass boat I'm going to restore. I just like the layout of the older ones better.

Then comes a 24 ft GW walk around I'm going to restore. I'll definitely do pics of that one.

Man it’s really starting to come together. It’s looking great. Are you going to put some color on it or is it going to be solid white?

Thats all it was, 2 pieces of Swiss cheese drilled plexi with with a couple bolts to hold it together. I took mine out so long ago I don’t know where it went or I’d send it to him. I use my livewell as the boat fish box, nothing that goes in gets out alive

Im not sure yet. I was thinking of adding pin stripes but that just more money being thrown at cosmetics

May just rock the solid white

Painted the hull with two coats and repaired the areas that were just bugging the shite outta me. Going to apply another two coats of topside paint and one of clear coat, then wet sand and polish it off....then put the rub rail on.

Bought a jack plate but the holes drilled through transom don't line up...filled them with fiberglass filler and will drill new holes to match this weekend.

Purchased Minn Kota Ulterra trolling motor with GPS Link, Hummingbird fish finder with lakemaster. 3 bank charger and two 12v trolling motor batteries.

Have spoken with Suzuki dealership in Florida and they will install motor, gauges and control box. Hopefully I can get them to wire everything up for me.

Quality Manufacturing is making my seats and Trotter Marine is performing routine maintenance on my triton trailer.

Absolutely sick rebuild. I cant imagine how gratifying it will feel when you get this rig in the water.
