I'm still decking away on my 89 duracraft. Slowly but surely. Anyway last night I thought I finally completed the front desk frame work. I inserted the seat and pin into the receiver yo give it a test run. After climbing up and having a seat I quickly realized that I was too close to the...

I got a little bit more frame work done yesterday.

Sorry I've been slack about posting my build progress. I always have intentions of posting daily but with limited time I tend to work into the night and the pictures don't do my work any justice. Anyway here's what I have so far. I plan to have more this afternoon.

I planned on posting more pics yesterday but between work, a pregnant wife, and very little free time, plans become fragile and usually short lived. Anyway, here's what's going on : (sorry! pictures are not the best. )

Question. I'm planning on painting the boat myself. I've never painted an aluminum boat before. With that being said, I've read several different things online about scuffing existing paint and painting over it. Is that information accurate or do I need to sand it all off, acid wash, prime, and...

Nice. Hell of a deal. I started gutting mine yesterday. I was gonna go ahead and replace the carpet, but I didn't realize how much I would have to remove in order to do so. My original intent was to just paint the outside of the boat but after getting the inside almost all the way torn out...

When i first saw this boat i was pretty impressed with the condition it's in. Everything except for the trolling motor and the seats is original from the day of purchase. It's amazing what a car port and fresh water can do to preserve the life of a boat. Here are a couple more pics of the...

Thanks for the compliments. I actually bought the boat last summer and Ive been fishing/ running it every chance I get since. From the Edisto river to the everglades and several places in between. I picked up 60' of 1 1/4 × 1 1/4× 1/8 angle and 36' of 1" square tubing (all aluminum) from...

I'm about to start my second boat conversion project. The plan is to add a rear deck, extend the front deck, repaint, replace carpet, and upgrade/ add electrical components. I have a ton of ideas and some what of a game plan, but very little boat modifying experience. Any tips or advice will be...

The boat looks great. I really like what you have done with it. Im curious about the storage compartments in the middle seat. Did you remove material underneath the existing aluminum bench seat that comes stock with the boat or is the storage space just the clearance from the bottom to the top...

The name ur kids liked is pretty good as well. Yall need to get into advertising for those "as seen on tv" companies as catchy slogan creators!

"That there flotation device you got looks perty swell!!!" All southern red neck slang aside, I like what you've done with the boat, but I love the name..! "Shark bait!" Thats witty.

The work you have gotten done looks good bud. I've got a lowe 1436 project that I started last year (pics coming soon hopefully!) I was going to apply bed liner to parts of my boat as well, but the cheapest quote I got was $800. Little to rich for my blood. With that being said, im just...

Hey gramps. I like that hatch! How thick is the aluminum that you used?

Boat looks awesome man!
