    Default Bigger's New Boat: A Photo Essay and Caption Contest all in one. :)


    Well, you see, he had some issues to overcome. Onliest boat I ever did see with kitchen linoleum installed on it. That glue was pretty much the pits too.

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

    Default Bigger to the rescue

    I leaned an important lesson this weekend. Never argue with a sweaty man holding an angle grinder in one hand and a Pall Mall in the other.

    Default I'm not so sure about this new boat of his.

    He claims it's gonna make a perfect Crappie boat, but it sorta says Duck boat to me, cause pretty much the whole time he was bent over running that angle grinder it was nothing but quack. Bwahahahaha.

    Default Gotta admit

    the decks turned out pretty good. However, Bigger is many things, but he's not Mr. Organization.

    So, to recap. The project list stands at:

    1) Stripped all linoleum.

    2) Acetoned paint and glue on the front deck.

    3) Sanded front and back decks

    4) Herculiner on front and back decks.

    5) Installed Trolling motor

    6) Installed front and rear Lowrance Units

    7) Intalled 3 batts.

    8) Temp installed side rod holders

    9) Said, to heck with it, that'll do for now and went fishing.

    Project punch list:

    1) Wire up Trolling Motor

    2) Do final installs for rod holders front, side and rear.

    3) Install 2 additional front pedestals and seats.

    4) Strip and herculine the floor

    5) Clean up the wiring under the console and reinstall cover.

    6) Sell boat and repeat.

    BTW, my signature is now back to normal as I have served my penance with no time off for good behavior.

    One last passing thought. That Polar Kraft is put together right. Welds to make a Nasa installer blush and the entire front deck is backed with 1/2" Delrin. When you install something on it, you'd have to take a 2 lb hammer to knock it loose.

    Default That one pic of him that you said

    I leaned an important lesson this weekend. Never argue with a sweaty man holding an angle grinder in one hand and a Pall Mall in the other.

    Kinda reminds me of a guy I saw in the movies one time just before he started hacking some poor dude into little bitty pieces. :D
