The next 2sav with all these boats 

hey now, not quite, i only have 2 now and forkedup is going to the lake this weekend for a shake down run. so hopefully it will be done, besides i was feeling a little left out being the only one on the site with only one boat

she is ok with it now, it probably would have gone over better if i told her about it before it was in front of the house

Yeah , but i do the same thing...........Whats she gonna do tell you no

Its already home.............Haha

better to ask for forgivness than permission

have fun with it

had every plan on starting to take the boat apart today, but decided i needed to clean the garage first, what a f'n mess, only spent about 25 mins on moneypit this evening, wanted to see if the gel would clean up or if i was looking at a repaint (i would have sold it before painting it), all in all i think it is going to clean up better than i thougt, here are a couple pics of todays progress.

well the plans on taking forkedup out this weekend hit a brick wall, the wife got layed off thursday night, so i opted not to spend the gas, beer and registration money this weekend, i will wait till she gets another job, so instead i did stuff that does not cost me anything , pulled the interior out of the moneypit, broke it all down, went from two decent sized piles to one small one, kept enough of everything for templates to make the new stuff, the rest is going to the dump. i think we are going to try and do this entire thing ourselves, the wife says she can sew the new interior so i kept the old vinyl for her to use as templates, we will see if she follows through or not.   got all the carpet out and the crap that was inside it, found a nice crack in the floor. went to the coin op carwash and hosed it out and vacuumed it pretty good. we i got home started investigating the crack, the wood floor is f'd, it felt solid walking on it, but i found a spot at the back that the wood was almost gone, it was under the interior so i never saw it when i looked at the boat the first time.  so i get to go back through some old threads and learn how to replace a floor and build a new interior. all for now, i am going back out to start cutting the floor to see how bad it is under it.  couple pics of todays progress

I think I would sell the one you've got and go for this one.  Looks like it's in good shape.   

That's a pretty nice boat there on eBay.

F it man- go for the gold- save an old barge    It's just money

I only posted the boat on ebay  so you would get an idea of how its going to look, or close to it..
Yeah it might be cheaper in the long run to buy someone else's boat or (problem) But you really dont get the satisfaction out of it as if you built it...

Just take you'r time with it.. Remember you still have one bad mo fo sitting next to it in the garage to go out and play with
