Looks awesome!

Thanks guys, I appreciate that

Hahaha! This ones is a boy and will be raised a bit different as I will be a part of his life from day 1. My daughter as I refer to her is actually my stepdaughter and I unfortunately didn't come into her life until she was almost 11. Up until then her and my wife lived with my wealthy inlaws...

That is a good idea, I work in the medical field so perhaps I can arrange something. Again thanks for all the kind words guys, I hope to finish the boat sometime soon as time allows. Wifes pregnant with our 2nd and has been put on strict bedrest due to some complications so I have been a busy...

Thanks for all the replies and kind words guys, I appreciate that and hope I can instill some of the same values in my daughter. Tough to do in this day and age as I never remember worrying about the kind of things the kids around here do. Just the other day she wanted to know how many square...

Thanks! :D

As for my boat here's my progress in chronological order thus far

According to my 13yr old daughter. I bring my little boat home with me from time to time if I'm planning on doing some fishing being the ramp is 5 minutes from my house. Well we never fail to hear the whining that comes from my daughters mouth about "Whats that stupid boat doing out there, it's...

Yes it's about finished got it all carpeted and even cupholders put in. Haven't been able to put as much time as I was before due to my pregnant wife being put on strict bedrest so I have been having to take care of most the household duties at the moment. Hoping to finish it up soon though.

Thanks guys! I was given cash to register my boat and a new marine battery for the occassion! \:D/

Heres another picture from a little farther down the line on my project showing the type side panels I am trying to figure out how to secure

Here's a picture of my boat before I started I am just using it to show that mine doesn't have ribs that go up the sides like a flatbottom does.

No :roflmao:

I am finishing up my project and the last thing I have left to do is secure my carpeted side panels in place. I didn't have the foresight to figure out how to secure them to the side of the boat. I have thought about getting some L brackets and secureing them to the floor so that I don't have to...

Nope wasn't me I couldn't decide if I grab my camera or my Glock when he pulled up. :mrgreen:

Apparently he's out in force helping out the game wardens. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Mine are attached to 3/4" plywood that sits on top of a frame made of 1x3's. I have 5/16" nuts and bolts with flat and lock washers holding the pedestals down then the entire frame work is attached to the aluminum with about 12 large self tapping screws. So far so good.

Looks similar to my Lonestar hull. Take a look at what I've done to mine so far here. https://tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4191

Hey there switchback, I usually fish either lake lewisville or ray roberts

Heres my latest progress. It's coming along slowly but surely. I installed the seats and also instealled some LED lighting. I put clear whites in for when light is really needed and some amber LED's that can be run at night when only a little light is needed and hopefully they won't attract alot...
