It's looking really good, keep the pictures coming. Your probably saving a pretty penny doing the work yourself, that means you can buy 1st round on Saturday!

Gunnels have all dings chips and dents filled from the sound of 20oz + weights thumping on gunnels,especially on the port side from years of sash weights beating on them from deep dropping and sword fishing. All have been sanded and taped just waiting on paint to be applied. Hopefully get at least one coat on before the weekend due to PSG show this weekend doubt much will get done. Show no big hang up but the big head Sunday from meeting at Irves following the show may hinder the progress!

Done for winter
 

Deck is done on the entire boat. Have all non skid surfaces painted as well as all cockpit smooth surfaces. Just running out of time to complete entire project this winter. Time to start working on rods/reels and tackle for upcoming season so we can put some blood on them new decks!

Looking good!!!!

You guys did one hell of a job, turned out great!

Thanks, it was a lot of work and front still yet to be done. Can't imagine what it must be like to build one from the keel up.

I can't wait to see her in the slip at our marina.

p.s. Looks like I may have a slip in Deale for Trophy season:D I'll see you back up north June 1st:)

May have one myself at a electrician I deal with at work house. And if not what do you mean you'll see me back up north? You mean I'm not invited on a trip! I can wave off a Grady like the best of them!

Sure you're invited on a trip. Have to teach you how to set 20 lines this spring:)

I'm just worried that being around all the guys SOUTH of the bridge; you will pick up the "rebel" label.:D
5th

Come on Marty, having a senior moment? I'm from the Florida keys how much further SOUTH of the "bridge" can one get! As far as being a rebel? It was a sad day when South Carolina took the confederate flag down, what next the American flag because it has stars on it! It's not a symbol of hate, it's heritage! That's rite you mess with a southern boys flag, and you will have problems, no different then any flag flown during a war. How many times have you seen the American flag burning with a bunch of towel heads running the streets celebrating, pisses you off don't it! Enough with my rant, hopefully I didn't offend anyone! Besides if Trump becomes president the stars will be replaced with dollar signs!
