[Agdog]

This still in progress?

Boat been at the welder for a couple weeks.
All the welding should be completed any day now.

Awesome build! Great work. You've got A LOT more patience than me.

Update.
About **** time, eh?







Picked it up yesterday.
-Pods are welded on.
-Grab bar bolted in.
-Poling platform complete.
-Old live well drain and intake holes closed.
Welding portion almost complete.

Crappy pics, had a baseball game to coach.
I'll get better pics tonight.

Shifting focus to the inside.
Blake's suggestion of Hydro-turf seems like a good one, albeit expensive.
Like the idea of making it comfortable, love the idea of making it quiet.

There's some plumbing needing to be done for the electronics wiring first.

Slowly coming along.
At least now, she'll fish.

Turning out great! You will love that platform! It is turning into a badA skinny boat for sure.

[Ride_Klein]

Really slick. Thanks for the update

[AgBass01]

Sweet!!!!!!!

Been waiting for an update on this.

Looks great!

I'm telling you the turf is worth the $$...

Platform came with Hydroturf on top.
I'd never actually touched it.
That stuff is pretty sweet.

Yes sir. It doesn't hold water and doesn't get hot. Pretty sure you could find a decent deal on ebay.

That is very clean. I have an old flatbottom, you have motivated me to do the same.

I like my hydroturf. But if I had to do it again I would t have got black. It gets all over me, the pigment breaks down and you get black residue all over you. Not the best picture but I covered all the surfaces except the poling platform. And your doing a awesome job with your boat!

Glad you posted that.
I thought black would look the best with polished aluminum.
Maybe the grey would be better.
Does your boat pole well?

Thanks for all the kind words.

I haven't poled with the boat. I bowfish with it so mostly troll and there is already a few hundred pounds in the back with the generators, batteries and ballast boxes. So when my big butt gets back there it tends to sag in the back.

Blue hydroturf would look good with the sliver
