updated photos - the paint is complete

I feel like a kid at Christmas time. The new boat is about 3 weeks away.

Gonna be plenty of deckspace on that bad boy. What are the dimensions?

That's COOL buddy! Who makes it?

The boat is a 2072. I am not sure how wide the deck is.

BFC Marine also known as Gator Trax

You are getting way more deck space this time around.

The last boat was a duck hunting boat I made to use for hunting/fishing. This one is a bass boat hull that my dad and I designed the interior. I like a lot of deck. The aluminum is .190. It should be nice when they get it done.

Yeah, I noticed the hull was different. Are you keeping the other boat as well?

Yes, I have sold my bass boats. The older boat will now be a crappie / hunting rig.

It looks like the seat pedestals are in the lids for your storage. Have you done that before? Does it really work? It seems like it would have too much stress and would pull the lids open if you grabbed on the seat to steady yourself. I'm just curious because I like considering new ideas.

The lids have latches. The aluminum is thick. No stress on the lids, no problem.

I have buddy who is having one built right now, he is a duck hunter, can't wait to see it,

what size duck boat is your buddy getting?

Congrats to you!!

The paint is complete - the deck is not painted as it will be covered in Hydroturf. They should start the rigging next week.

awesome

Thanks

Nicely done. Good job.

That's a nice looking all-around rig!
You did the right thing, design it the way your gonna use it.
My dad had an alum boat made several years ago, we laid it out and drew it
up just like he wanted it. Turned out great.
Your rig looks awesome!
Congrats

lol I was just wondering how far along your boat was this morning.

Looking good.

Are you doing hydroturf?

Do you happen to know what struts they use on the lids? I wouldn't mind adding some to my lids. If you don't know, I may have to get ahold of Kent or Steve.

The boat will have hydro turf. I am not sure about the struts. You might call Kent to find out. Thanks

Hey Butch. That is a mean fishing machine. I want the first ride with you.
