Used that same paint as well had good luck with mine. After one season needs some touch up, but thats easy to do with this paint.

Very nice Job!! I hope mine looks that good, once I get started. I posted asking for dimensions since I am in planning stages for a 1436 topper modification. Can you tell me what pedestals you used and the heights of each and whether you added the swivels also. I was thinking of putting in pedestal bass seats on mine and need as much info as possible. Are your pedestals shoreline or attwood and sizes? Any info from all you guys will help the geezer. Thanks

Geekster, excellent job. Still in planning stages on buying my 1436 Topper. Can you tell me the model and size of the pedestals and the seats you used, because that's exactly the way I want to do mine except I am going to extend the middle seat to add a livewell in front of it by decking towards the bow seat. It looks like you have a 7 inch pedestal in back and a 13 inch on the center seat. Did you add swivels to the seats? Is that center seat pretty stable when fishin. Let me know. Thanks

I will be removing both pedestals because it tends to off balance my jon boat.

I will be installing these quick release seat swivels instead of the pedestals.

Thanks, I was wondering about that. I felt safe in mine until I moved real fast to grab something that was falling overboard. I went home and removed my pedestals.

Walmart was selling this paddle for eight bucks...I bought it...you never know when it might come in handy !

That's almost exactly how I want my boat to end up, good work!

glad to see the paddle - on my 1st boat I was 100 yards when the 4 hp died - had to use the paddle to get her to the doc - ended up being a head gasket - changed the head gasket and sold the boat and got a 1648 G3
reminds be I need to up date my project pictures
