That is one awesome boat, Jerry, thanks for sending me a PM on having new pictures of the mod. When you get a chance if you will take some pics of it zipping accross the water. What type of VHF radios do you have? Marine or amateur, ect?

I found you another project boat to modify. I have pics https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/boa/2701592097.html 24' Flat Bottom Aluminum Center Console Boat (Graham, TX) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2011-11-14, 9:38AM CST Reply to...

I have looked all over the Internet and these rod holders seemed to me the best for the money. I found them on ebay. This is what I am buying. Check out his hole line. He seems to be a good person/I conversed by email and he seemed to want to work with you any he can. He only sells on ebay...

That is one beautiful boat, Jerry! ! ! ! But when are we going to see it float? And another question is, does the boat roll or not roll? I was wondering since you said it rolled and then you said you could stand on the gunnel and it would not tip. ??? An outstanding mod that looks like it...

How about a picture of the oar lock. How did you attach the rod holders to the oar lock? I have been thinking of doing something simular, in fact adding some more oar locks up front and in the back. They could be used for crappie, and catfish and in the back for trolling.

Wow, what a fantastic mod. I can't wait to see how it floats and hear about how it handles. Great work, Jerry! ! !

Jerry, Your boat is looking fantastic. I was wondering if you have cut anything useing the lube on the saw blade that I sugested? I am about to start my mod on a Alumicraft 14/48. I am interested to know if my solution still works. Did you buy your 2"X 2'' material as scrap or new...

It looks like you are using one tie-down in the middle of the boat, you might think of using two, one at the front and one at the back where you have cross structure.(the bow and the transom) I'm not familure with the Monark brand boat but if you are replacing this one you might consider an all...

Let me know how it works for you, Jerry. It has been a long time since I did any of that kind of work. If you bought that screen room extrusion from a patio company they would be able to tell you where to get that lube stick, I'm sure. I built many a patio cover and screen room with that...

When I was building patio covers and carports out of aliminum "W" roof panels and extruded gutter recievers and fascia, I used an 80 tooth plywood carbide tipped blade and lots of wax.(on radial arm saw, shop pre-cuts and skillsaw, on-site cutting) That stick in a cardboard tube is best. It's...

Are you going to use those horns for rod holders? That would be sharp.(no pun intended)
