Almost done, just a few odds and ends to finalize.  Thanks Bob and Eddie at Seaforce and Katrina and Tony at Abels marine for the great job.  Keep it up on your new project for hook!





Removable livewell

















Loving the new boat for sure!

Very nice. I like the coffin up front with the pad on the console. All ready for a babe in a bathing suit?

Nice

[fabuck71]

Thanks Fish.  You must know me from a past life!

Alex, she looks gorgeous!  Now, whose gonna finish her up?  Got a couple spreaders, anc lgt, VHF antenna and maybe GPS puck up top, and what kind of electronics are you going for?  Bracket mounted inside the cutouts on the dash?

[fabuck71]

Thanks Bob.  I'm was going to wait til next month to call you when my wallet gets a little heavier :)!  I rigged the Bilge and Livewell but not near your style.  Ill call you tomorrow to talk.  Same number?

[seabob4]

Excellent bud!  Yeah, think it's the same # but I'll PM you just in case...

[fishinonthebrain]

How has the boat been? Have you done anything to it lately?

[fabuck71]

Love it ...... its ridciulous how much.  It rides so nice with that porta bracket and High Gunnels.  My family and I haven't been wet once (Knock on wood).  I've been fishing and not posted many pics but will very soon.  I also jumped her up on a plane in 18" of water the other day :)!  Oh yeah, I did the 20 hours service on the Honda myself for 50.00.  So easy.

Sounds great would love some more pictures.

I noticed at one point you had a white bottom then it was painted like the rest of the hull. Any particular reason?

[fabuck71]

That was the original Gel-coat.  The hull, coffin and console is Flag Blue.  The lean post, t-top and inside is oyster white.  Then I bottom painted the bottom black.  You can barely tell but its black and if I leave in water on vacation, it will be OK!

[fabuck71]

Still fishing like crazy and having fun.  Here are a few more pics.  If you want a specfic picture let me know.  And Hookd, please don't let anymore grouper school you!

Fabuck71, what more material did you use for the floor? and what thickness?
Thanks, Carson

[fabuck71]

3/4 inch Nidacore, the honeycomb core for the floor!

I'm bias for sure but that just turned out so right.
