Alright.... I'll play with you since no one else has anything. Here's a few more I came up with even though I still like the name I originally picked out but you'll have to wait til she's finished to find out. -GreenHead Graveyard -Jimmy's Jon (Jimmy is a waterman's term for a male crab)...

So this week was all about getting the inside of the boat done and painted. So far I have gotten everything primed with two coats of the recommended wash primer, one light coat of reduced color, and installed the rear console area. I was also able to get my hatch liners foamed into place and...

The seat reinforcements that I am using are 1/8" thick aluminum and are very sturdy in my opinion. If you were to bolt or rivet them to your floor (preferably bolt), I think it would help firm things up. I bought my reinforcement plates from AK McCallum online and I think they were about...

Sure, I was quoted $150 but that was basically for one coat of line-x. I anticapated the line-x to be about 1/8" thick when doing all my cutting and fitting and I found out that a single coat is closer to 1/32"-1/16". When I dropped it off I asked for an extra coat of line-x for extra...

Your right Mr. 2nd.... I have been slacking on the updates. So here's one just for you buddy! The last week and a half I have been letting the boat sit upside down so that the fresh paint on the bottom has ample time to set up and harden before sliding it back on the trailer bunks. While we...

Thank you all for the comments. I ordered my console through a local SeaArk dealer. The only other place I know to find side consoles is a place called AK McCallum in NC.

Thank you Fool4fish!! I've been steadily plugging away at it and it is coming along nicely. This past weekend I was able to get the boat flipped upside down and sanded, washed, and acetoned. My friend and I laid down 2 coats of factory SeaArk OD Green paint and combated the falling pollen and...

Here are a few pictures of the floor fully assembled and in the bed of my truck. I dropped it off at Line-X yesterday and should have it back by tomorrow. I think its safe to say that all the accessories for the boat have been fitted and its now time for paint. Today's plans include flipping...

I was able to get an electronic fuel sending unit in my new tank and get some pictures of how the tank will be situated in the box. I also found some stainless steel hinges for the lid. They were not offset hinges so I ended up making two spacers so that the hinges will sit flat. You can also...

Just about done with the rear deck area now. I was able to cut my "rear deck window" where my gas tank will sit and simply just need to cut my lid for the top. You can see from the pictures that I got the divider put in the box.

Thanks! I picked up a sheet from Home Depot yesterday and it looks like it will work great.

Thanks guys. The idea to paint started because I was adding quite a bit of fresh aluminum to the inside of the boat and was going to have to paint it. Then I realized that the paint was really oxidized and wouldn't match my new paint at all. The inside had a good bit of ware on it so I decided...

So just thought I'd post a few new pics of my progress. I was able to get the floor trim pieces cut and dry fitted as well as dry fit the rear hatch boxes. The seat reinforcement plates and seat bases are also drilled and ready to go. The side console has been mounted and I'm in the process of...

Indeed they do! I was able to trace the templates on to my aluminum and get them cut out this weekend. I'll have pics up in a day or two but I am very happy with the way they turned out.

I'm currently working on my 1652 Sea Ark mod and I'm getting close to laying down some paint. The inside of the boat is completely stripped down to bare, shinny aluminum. I'm thinking that 220 grit should be my final sand coat to hopefully give the metal some "teeth". My plan for the inside...

Here's a few things to consider.... First of all, you may want to call the manufacturer of your boat (LOWE) and give them you boats VIN number. They can send you new coast guard stickers, most likely for free. Sea Ark did it for me because the stickers on my boat were incorrect. Just keep in...

I absolutely love the speakers and head unit that I bought for this boat. I hooked it all up when it came to test it and it really sounds good. I went with the Sony DSX MS60 head unit and couldn't be happier. It has a faceplate that swivels down and a tray that swings out of the head unit...

I'm not sure of what size capacity tank you are looking for but I would lean towards buying one the is just wide enough to fit in between your ribs and strap it down. I am finding out from my alum boat mod that fabricating aluminum boxes and TIG welding is not cheap, unless you have your own...

Another portion of the project that I have been "whittling away at" is the floor. As you can tell from these pictures, the boat came with a piece of diamond plate flooring. My issue with the floor was that there was a substantial gap on either side of the floor where it did not butt up to the...
