    Thanks guys.. it was really a lot of work and looking back I cant say I would do it again.

    I have some more pics to post up. Custom led lighting and such. I made headlights for night fishing up a San Antonoo


    Taper.. I used goop coat it to seal the seams and rivots. Most everyone uses gluvit. But at 50 bucks a quart I will stick. To, the 20 dollar goop.

    An 18 footer brand new with a 50 hp 4 stroke is close to 20000.. this is essentially new for 5000

    Mike,

    I saw some of this post today at work and had to wait until I got home to really look it over. I've got to say that I commend you and all who worked on this project for your skills working with your hands and the craftsmanship that went into the project from start to finish. That is a fish catching machine and I hope I get to take a closer look at it..............awesome job!
