Looks good to me and thanks on the idea of the bracket for the bilge pump. Now I know how to mount mine in the bottom of the jon boat.

Well I finally got it done. It's a little plain but I was going for a affordable entry level fishing boat. I might add new Trailer tires and wheels to dress it up a little the old ones are kinda rough. I didn't put a livewell in as everyone has a different idea on what's best. I just wired up a switch and ran wiring and bought a good pump and all hoses and fittings. They just have to buy the livewell and put it where they want. I am going to start listing it locally tomorrow for $3,000

Wow Eric, NICE JOB and I was just about to inquire about your project too. I just got most of my materials for the jon boat. I'm just praying I couldn't even do half as good as a job as you did on that one. That is one NICE boat and worth every penny

Wow Eric, what a great looking boat. I'd bet you've got $3000 or more just in labor.

You know, cleaning up those wheels and painting gloss white or black would really highlight the boat. Port side wheel looks good, but starboard side is rusty.

Prob gonna just put new ones on it. To much work to sand and paint em, lots of old grease on back of rims. Plus I didn't go cheap on rest of boat so no time to start now.

Very nice. Excellent attention to detail. You might consider it entry level, but it sure looks like quality workmanship to me!

Miss is right a flood stage. Water to the rails on dock at ramp. Cats are hitting pretty good. Good time to stay out of main channel, lots of floating stuff.

Very nice job there dahogman !
I have a 19?? SportCraft, fiberglass that I'm going to rebuild when it gets cooler.
If work stays like it is I might just pull it in the shop where I work and start.

I got a couple new tires and rims today. I got some eight spoke white wagon wheels with 530-12's load range C. It had B's on it but I thought C's might be a little more suited. Makes the Trailer look like a new one now. I'll let the old tires go as spares as they are in pretty good shape not checked or cracked and lots of tread left, the rims just looked terrible. I must be getting lazy  as I didn't even try to sand the old ones. $130 for the new ones, I wasn't going to sweat it for that.

You've done a great job on that old boat. I'm sure someone will be proud to use it.

17 hours left on the auction and only bid up to $2000. That's what my reserve was. For that price someone will be getting a pretty nice old boat.
