Had never seen this thread so I have just gone through the progression of the BCB. Amazing!

Great thread and need the finishing pics on the water!

Hope God continues to safeguard your health!

I'd like to think that when I ever do retire, I would have plenty of time to do things like what you'll just accomplished but that will never happen.
The amount of labor and patience you guys put into this project is awesome.
You'll did a beautiful job.
Go fishing!

sent you a pm. thats a great question because we got stuff from a lot of different places. might be helpful to anyone getting ready to do a project like this.
carpet/ basscat boats
deck padding/ pro tech mats marine
adhesives/ bird song for the mat and walmart for the weldwood contact cement for the carpet
sand papers, 3m compound, mcguires/ pepboys has the best selection
fender and trailer paint/ tractor supply. i used the truck, tractor and implement paint
rub rail, courtesy lights, toggle switches, non skid material, name decals/ bass cat boats
nupaint, sealant/ pro-tec
jack plate and prop/ steves custom props-hydro dynamic jack plates in quitman texas
deck lights, nav lights/ hoodoo electronics or blue water
all the basscat products came through rockwall marine. tommy and the guys are the best!
as i think of other places i'll put them up. some others for miscellaneous stuff were west marine, lowes, elliots hardware (if they dont have it, it doesnt exist), oriellys auto parts, academy outdoors, grainger industrial supply

I just recently got my Triton TR21 all back together after redoing it. I went a little further though. I sanded down to the glass and repainted a different color above the rub rail and inside of boat. Had the carpet installed at Lake Fork. I did all the other work mostly by myself. Took about 8 months because I had some medical issues thrown in. It is not yet perfect but I like the looks much better now. Good luck with you kitty.

wow. taking her down to the glass. now that's some serious work. i can relate to the medical issues. it's a great feeling when it all starts coming back together. seems like there's always something else that would be cool to do. would love to see some pics of the work.

Hey BassCat dad: all you did to these wheels was wet sand with 1000 grit or did you apply anything before sanding?

Yes. Once I got it dialed in. Because of this setup if the day is going to be on a lake that is windy it's so easy to change motor height.
