Title: 68 - FLATBACK
Post by: BIKINICHASER on May 04, 2010, 04:38:14 PM
Just Lucky has become "BACKSIDE"

this weekend was the first trip out, i caught a keeper within the first 30 seconds on the first cast, maybe some of just lucky's luck will stay with the boat for a while.

Welcome back!  :thumright:

Indeed it does look good  :thumright:  Slid everything a little forward it seems.
I don't quite get the seat on the top though  :scratch:  A real short tuna tower?   :D
Title: Re: 68 - FLATBACK
Post by: BIKINICHASER on December 12, 2012, 07:21:52 AM
actually i've added a bass boat style seat and i carry a seat extension that makes it easy to lean/sit above the t-top and fish there comfortably as well.  also there is a solid flat aluminum standing area surrounding the seat "port" and the t-top canvas has a zipper front entry to allow for easy access to the top.  we found ourselves always climbing on top before the remodel trying to locate distant redfish.  basically its a cheap way to add a lil tower, and takes down in seconds.

Post by: BIKINICHASER on December 18, 2012, 10:47:49 AM
well.....

TIME YES, but i think my cheap butt self managed to get'er quality restored from stringers on up for a lil over 5K -  including the overpriced hatches, restored mako console, materials, new t-top canvas, new leaning post, solar lighting, audio, new above the floor fuel poly fuel tank (no electric fuel guage needed, just open one of console the doors and check), livewell and bildge pumps, etc... my goal was to simplify all electronics (hence the plain console), wires, and make all access points as easy as possible to get to.  

one neat trick i like is this "roll on" paint, i put about 4 coats on this time and i bet i don't have a total of 5 working hours of sanding and rolling invested.  after about 3 years of abuse i'd recommend another coat, but for the price and time it took, i'm a huge fan.
