Thread: Finished

i wound up my remodeling of the beast this evening and got everything back on it and ready to go. I gotta admit that she looks pretty good. my next project will be to redo the rod boxes and the front deck. what ive done so far is about all i wanna bite out of that apple right now. its been a tough job. a lot tougher puttin the aluminum in than the ply wood we put in when i bought it. tomorrow i gotta hook up the power to the front and back lowrance and do a little clean up around the boat and im good to go......

Why dont you take some pics of the remodled beast for us before it gets littered up with empty meds and the pickeled eggs flake the paint.

gooch im gonna take some photos this am for posterity. once i turn the crew loose in it with a jar of pickeld cackle berries it will never be the same again. once them boys starts eatin the eggs, i got a feeling everything is gonna have a scorched look.

Rango having fished with you several time now , I think it's down right funny how you talk about the crew's gassy outbursts When the reality is , the crew is doing their best to stay on the upwind side of the boat.I wouldn't want to start no mutiny here , but I think they been dosing your meds with beeno

you noticed that to huh? them boys are young. they can handle it even if they do a lot of muttering when a ill wind blows......

Glad to hear your almost done Rango,remodeling is always hard.

Thats great to hear Rango! I can't wait to see what the new Beast looks like.Hopefully I'll be able to get loose from all this work stuff and do a stalk soon. I told Travis today that you'd rigged up the back of the boat for him. Man he is chomping at the bit to get to try it out! He said he might be interested in a saturday night stalk. I'll get back to you on that. Just let me know wether or not it might be a possibility.

thanks chris. it was tough, working with that aluminum. If i remember right it took me and davey one day to do the orginal flooring and walls when i bought the boat using plywood. i went from tuesday through tuesday working on it every day but the one day it rained. but it wasnt all day each day. id come and go with the project as i could.the worst was having to get in and out of that boat from the ground so many times. bob helped me last saturday . it was a big help for him to be in the boat puttin in screws while i cut and toted the metal. i was suprised at the condition of the plywood tho. the outer layer was flaking and peeling which made it look bad, but the rest of the wood was still solid so there was still plenty of years use out of it before it would had to be replaced. dont know how much weight i got rid of but it has to be considerable. i cleaned the old stuff out of the yard yesterday and it being soaked weighed a ton. so i made some good savings there

it looks good davey. i wanna redo the front deck and rod boxes next. travis said he could handle the back so hes gettin the chance. you remember ken who come down last spring and fished with his son in law last spring? hes coming back to fish with me sun, mon and tues nights. if you and travis want to go, let me know. michaels in so if you guys wanna go that will give us a full crew. hes coming alone and wants to take some fish back home so with all us at it for three nights, he should carry a good mess back . let me know for sure about sat night

its been told that The Beast was not originally green but the color turned green from the gasious winds that passed by
