Been working on it slowly bc I'm disabled and I work when I can. No garage or anything to work in. So I decided to paint the boat this weekend since I'm stuck at home. Pulled it off the trailor and got to laughing when I flipped it over. Now ive painted homes and things all my life and now I can say I seen just about everything. Before and after . Paint was still wet when pictures were taken.

Good job there. I had a 1/2 cab many years back and rubbed back the top part and sprayed it with marine finish. Came out ok, just wanted to tidy it up.

Thank you Ronnie .Next step is trailor and wiring. I'll post those pics when done. Ive also got an idea I want to try for the inside for a removable deck.

Before I came over here had a 19ft cuddy cab. Bought it new in 96 and fished offshore, sometimes by myself. Caught my biggest fish out of it and was a very safe boat. Keep your dreams going.

Thanks again I will. Just want to be safe and enjoy the water and catch nice fish.

I've been over here since 2008 and the last 7 years fishing in a private lake with permission of the owner. Have caught a lot of quality fish. Decided to by an inflatable as there are parts I can't reach due to overgrowth. Takes a little while to set up but nice getting out there. Caught a few bass Friday. This one is rated to 1300 lb and I make sure I have my pfd on when I go.

Nice set up and nice fish. Ive Been shore fishing and wading for 25 yrs now. Before that I had a pontoon . First thing I did for safety was order a pfd after doing research on them. I won't go out without it on. Here is a pic of the boat when I bought it

Good looking boat. I just finished doing the same thing to a boat just like it. Bought mine with trailer for 500. Had to replace some missing rivets and I coated the inside with flex seal, both to seal any potential leaks and to have a non slip surface to move around on. Great fishing boat. Electric trolling motor to get around with on small lakes and ponds.

Yes they are. Got mine and trailor for 600 on eBay. Really now problems with it. Just up dating it. And refiguring some things out so I can keep it for boat rides with my wife and still have a great fishing boat for me and my friends. I've got a 9.9 chrysler and 2 trolling motors. Some of the areas only allow electric motors. I can't wait to get it done.
