Well the boats been sitting under a tarp waiting for warmer weather when i can hit it with paint but my friend did complete my ice blaster. When i bought this boat it had an old trolling motor on it where the foot pedal didn't work but it still worked when i took it apart and hooked it up to power. Now it'll be a great duck hunting tool to keep water moving and ice from freezing during late season hunting.
Haven't stopped on the boat it's just been slow going. Today myself and a few buddies flipped the boat and painted the bottom with super slick 2000. I bought a gallon but only used 1/2 a gallon.
styx river shadow grass stencils and paint ordered. Hopefully it'll be here by the weekend and i can at least get the self etching primer down on the sides. I think i'm going to try and scuff up the steelflex on the sides a little bit so i can camo the entire side, should have thought more about this when i applied the steelflex. I also still have half a gallon of steelflex left and although it seems adequate on the bottom of the boat i may mix up another quart and roll it out just for good measure. I need to get this painted so i can mount the motor and start working on the blind.
Question, where did you get the tiller handle? Well more then one. Where is the trim tilt switch location on the handle? Last, would a Big Tiller handle work on that motor, mine is a 06 4s. Thanks and great work

pretty sure i got the tiler handle from marineengine.com
you can get a tiller handle for most models, i've seen tillers on 200hp engines. some tiller handles have tilt/trim built in and some do not. mine requires a separate switch
I really want the trim on the end of the handle. And my 06 has a different cowling setup then 07 and above that I've seen the big tiller on. Wish me luck I not needing a new motor but really want the trim on the handle
Spend a good three hours this morning removing decals. Heat gun, torch, a scraper and brake clean did the job.
Spend another 2.5 tonight sanding the sides to prep for paint. I shouldn't have steelflexed the sides, but that was an afterthought, so now it's all sanded and ready for a day with no rain.
Started with a khaki base, then dark brown on the first stencil and black on the "tree bark" stencil. Still need to do the reed stencil in a sand color to finish it off.
