I ordered my hangers from Journey.Somewhere on the web, or maybe even on this forum, I saw a picture of a boat with the oars stored outside the boat on each side. I'm interested in doing this and looking for ideas on how to get it done.
- time to order new "Shoal Man" decals for the bow.
I gave all the Battleship Gray paint a light scuffing with 220 grit sand paper today, wiped it down with denatured alcohol then used a tack cloth and rolled on on the last coat; painting is done. I'm going fishing tomorrow, that will let the paint set well (dry, cure?) before I start reinstalling the Scotty mounts, oarlock hardware, lifting handles.Nice job @Buzzy! I recall that you were slimming down the boat fleet by getting rid of a few other craft. Looks like you made the “right good” choice!
That little guy looks like he's ready to deploy the anchor! Nice job restoring the boat! (How many hours?)Bought this boat last year for $250. Been working on it lately so I can go up to BC and get in on the worst winter kill in 40 years. It had been sitting on the beach at presidents point since the guy bought it in 1994. It had three holes under the waterline from a downrigger mount. I patched them with stainless rivets. Washed with saltaway and sanded the bottom. Used goop coat-it to seal the pinholes. Applied bottom paint to protect it from UV. Replaced the rotten plywood wheel bracket backers. Flush mount Scotty mounts front an rear for anchors. Added 4 Scotty rod holders with 1" spacers. Added a seat and base in the dark last night. Still need to install the Garmin striker.View attachment 64832View attachment 64833View attachment 64834View attachment 64835View attachment 64836View attachment 64837View attachment 64838
A few hours a night for a couple weeks. We played in the boat for a couple hours. He must of put the anchor down about 100 times.That little guy looks like he's ready to deploy the anchor! Nice job restoring the boat! (How many hours?)
Saving a boat has to give some good fish karma. Nice work!Bought this boat last year for $250. Been working on it lately so I can go up to BC and get in on the worst winter kill in 40 years.
