12-26 SKEETOE,, no pics ( fergot camera )

anchor paint was closed and coodnt get paint taday,, I've been a long thought process on this paint decision and its a good thing they were closed...I have decidided not ta paint it until I make sure it halfway leak free,, a lil water in an riveted aluminum boat will be OK,, I've installed rule 360 pump next ta the gas tank and a lil water aint gonna be a big deal,,,, hey I can swim and wear a life jacket,, this lil turd aint gonna have all the weight that my crappie boat has in it anyway,, I can live with the paint color fer now and the light weight of the boat instead of all the extra interior modifications, just ta have a decked out boat,, I've already got that... besided the reason fer this boat is,, with such a shallow draft as it shood have, Reaper and I otta be able ta float across some waters that look like its only a foot deep fer a distance of 12-20 feet then once in the oxbow it appears ta drop off into deeper water,, we're think'n its just silt built up over the years of water flow...
however I did put some 3/8" plywood over those benches, and take'n the boat seats and new tires ta the shop in the a.m....
after all its gotta be comfortable ta catch fich out of....
