My current boat project

Still waiting on the impeller, got some stuff done. Just need to build my raised platform and buy all my HPS lights

Wow dude, I'm impressed.  Strong work.  Your representing guys named Jeff the right way  !  Awesome job.

Sincerely,
Another guy named Jeff.

Its set up to troll as well. Im hoping to get it out on Alpine as soon as it's thawed and open.

You will have to come up so we can hit it

Two temporary 300 watt halogens

looking good!  I like all that open floor space with nothing to trip over.  that trolling motor should be more than enough for that boat.  going to replace the Auto-Pilot? 
I heard through the grapevine that Alpine is still not open but Spicer is fishing well.

I'll probably switch out the Auto-pilot at the end of the year once I get all of the other little tidbits done on the boat

Yes Alpine is still closed, where my boat is being stored is about 20-30 minutes from Alpine

Got the crack welded up





And my new lights going on tomorrow

Getting the lights mounted and wired up.

2 to go

Nice work Jeff.

Out of curiosity, what is that black device mounted on your motor cover?  Another place to attach a halogen light?

It had a plastic piece in there to left the motor up, it was broken so I just left it out when I painted it since it was garbage anyways

Nice score Jeff!! Great job on the refurbishment, very nice work.

I never updated this, but the boat was finished in October, but I tore it back apart to redo everything this winter to fix a lot of the cracked aluminum, get rid of all the wood and carpet. The entire boat will be all aluminum, and interior coated with anti-skid

Boat should be about 150-200 pounds lighter when I am finished

When it was finished



After a lot of cutting, scrubbing and cleaning

 



Welding structural supports in the nose



Filling in 3 old livewell inlets and outlets







Welding in the front nose plate









After the boat was painted, and the gunnels, front nose, and transom coated with the anti-skid









Starting to fabricate my bolt in side console

top shelf / quality work 

I see dead carp in the near future.

Great job bringing her back to life.
