The Herculiner went on great. Unfortunately it only got to about 50 degrees the whole time I was working on it. At night the temp was dipping into the high 30's. This slowed the drying. On top of that there aren't lights in my dad's shop so I had to work with a drop light. So I got some runs in my work. I was just wanting to protect the bottom and get all the rivets covered which I did accomplish. While I was applying the Herculiner I had my friend tape off what I had painted and he didn't get it where I wanted it and left 2 thin lines of bare metal which I will have to tape off and paint again.

I have a big bass boat and a 10ft Pelican Predator I fish out of. During the spring I use the little Pelican more than the big boat. Get yourself a trolling motor and battery and it will make crappie fishing much easier. My favorite lake for small boat crappie fishing is Lavon. The secret is finding places close enough to launch small boats from. Goodluck on the refurb job.

Hey Jerm, looking good. I did an 8' my self a couple of years ago. It was in bad repair. Here's a pic and a slideshow for you to check out. Pretty much did what you did. I Rhino lined the inside (canned version). Made the boat kinda heavy, but still no leaks. Got the decals from a lady here on the forum.  http://s141.photobucket.com/albums/r64/lakeforkfisherman/Speedy/?albumview=slideshow
