    Default Finally finished another Project Boat


    This boat has been at my house since Hurricane Katrina. First built with a door in the side and open deck for my friend who was paralyzed very high up his back, we rigged this boat where he could roll in, get behind the original side console, and go for a boat ride. Anyway he passed and left me the boat. A friend who helped me move my other friend to a new, smaller house wanted it for Flounder fishing with his grandchildren. I agreed to restore it and customize it for Flounder Gigging. After welding up the side door I extended the front deck, added the Aft deck, fabricated the Center Console including a livewell. Foam filled the hull, added the platform on the back for the generator painting it with a PPG Refinish 2K Urethane. I also added a 1/2 thick Mini Plate Trolling motor mount, I thread the plate so installing Minn Kota Quick Release Trolling Motor Mounts a breeze. Installed the trolling motor, new side running lights, hydraulic steering, dual bilge pumps (Tunnel Hull so two bilges), two tone paint job, and made the cockpit self draining. It took me 6 months working on it off and on.

    It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!
