So I ordered doors from Fish on Fabrications and got them fitted and installed. It was an easy process. I measured and remeasured, and measured again and sent the dimensions of my holes to Fish On. A few weeks later I got back these pro doors that I was thrilled about. I already had carpet, so...

Same...Kansas City area Lees Summit

Find a metal seller in your city, if you buy from HD Lowe's or Ace your buying anodized angle. It's over priced. Metal by the foot in Kansas City sells aluminum angle I used in mine for. 36 a foot, I've used well over 100 ft in a 16 mod V Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk

I used Sherwin-Williams procryl and pro industrial DTM acrylic. Basically I use the 7 inch grinder until I burned the motor up, and then I switched to a 4-inch angle grinder, which ended up being faster and better anyway. I grinder on it until mist of the paint was off of the trailer not so...

I think it comes in 25 ft sections but you can get it cut to any length. I've done all mine in 8' sections, and I've used around 175' way more than I ever thought, but a lot of that had to do with running angle back to back making Ts to make it easier to tie it all together but at. 36-40...

Easy view before and almost complete after.

Mine had a lot of rust and I thought it was going to be bad. but it was all surface rust. The hardest part was removing the pen striping before I hit it with the sander. I actually blew the motor on the 7" grinder while doing this. I ended up using a 4" angle grinder with 80G disk. It would have...

Ready to be buttoned up and carpet less a few extra details, like rod locker rod tube inserts, trolling motor, and doors. Working on fabing some custom doors. The reach storage will use 18x18 plastic inserts no wood boxes, so that they can be removed for easy access the batteries, fuel tank, and...

Almost caught up with with the posts to real time progress, a couple of odd mods...include sealing a hole in the bottom where aerator pump was prior. I plan to move it to the rear rather than on the bottom. I was uncomfortable with the pump and strainer hanging below a boat I plan on being...

Trailer upgrades include lights, new winch, and jack.

Primed and Painted. I used a 7" grinder to hit the old paint and surface rust on trailer, and a wire wheel to get stuff off and scuff the hull. It took an entire day to prep. I used Sherwin Williams Procryl primer and Pro Industrial DTM acrylic system. I rolled the trailer and sprayed the hull...

looking like a boat again...more importantly a bass boat.

Shes almost all framed up. I will add additional support after I mock up the deck and step on it to find spots that are to flexible. I used all 1x1 angled aluminum and 3/16 rivets, the angled aluminum was around $.38 per ft.

Once I felt I was able to start doing things, one of the first things that had to happen was move the deck up. I used the same rails that the previous deck was on, and popped all the riots. This was done mainly to not have to try to bend aluminum in the same that was required. Although its tough...
