I believe I see a lot of slave labor going on with this boat emoBigsmile emoBigsmile
Remember to give each edge a coat too as you put them down. I think that's going to turn out great!

I sure wish I was "handy" like that. Screwdrivers and various other crap has just never fit my hands very well. emoScratch

Yup, im actually going to run a silicone sealant on each edge so it will have more flexibility and should also dry faster. </p>

Yup, see pic number 1. It came with a killer ladder. You just bolt down the studs and it slips right on. </p>

Friday before the storm hit, I got the boards on the deck.
Before I put them on, I redid the winch eyelet support brackets. The old brackets were very thin and buckling from use. You can see the difference in the pic here. A nice CFF member had the material he'd been storing for many years and donated a couple pisces for me.

All boards now installed, just need to put all the screws in, I only tacked it around the edges so far. The remaining should only take me ten minutes though. I hope at the end of the week it will be warm enough to lay the carpet then I can really get it rolling.

Seriously, that does seem to be a little short for a pontoon boat. Are you going to install it on a build up of some sort????

IT was a high-quality oil paint designed for wood barns. </p>

<font face="georgia,palatino" size="2">Dosen't look like a barn. Now I should add some insulting comment about cows. But I didn't do that. Or maybe something about short cows. I have never seen pygmy cows. Of course I have never seen a floating barn.</font></p>
<font face="Georgia" size="2">Anyway, good luck spur, looks like a good project.</font></p>

Looking good spur! Can't wait to see ya out there harassing the cats. If you get the fever before she is ready, give me a yell, we will take mine & do some harassing of our own. I am on the crappie kick right now. But will always break for some catting.
