They really let that guy have it, kinda feel bad for him... some of the comments are pretty funny though.

Holy crap!
with over 300 posts on Florida Sportsman,,, you'd think somewhere along the lines he would have read a thread where someone even half-a$$ rebuilt a boat/stringers/floor correctly... 1 good wave and that console is gonna go flying!

Scott, I really do like that pig....maybe I can get technical and figure out how to do it.... :pig:  :oops:

I was reading another post from the "builder" on the FS thread:

http://forums.floridasportsman.com/show ... shing-Trip

Boatbuilding sure isn't his forte', but he is a good man. He's from Riviera Beach....no offense to anyone from Riviera Beach, but it can be a pretty bad area. Lotta bulletproof glass...even at the sub shops, etc.
