Boat Builder Central

Just now saw the boat meet postings. I'll do my best to get there!! That's the 1st weekend of our fall break and was planning on heading south for some fishing anyway... Works great for me. Prefer some place with cabins too, because I won't have room for the extra camping gear.

Thanks Will. I was thinking the same thing as to where to paint the graphite. Thanks for the heads up on the "white graphite". I remembered something about that but forgot where. I'll definitely check that out. As for rub rail, I used the Tessilmare rub rail kits I got off Jamestown Distri...

I finally got the trailer the day after Christmas. It took a little longer because of some weather delays concerning delivery from the manufacturer. I bought (or I should say the insurance company) a boat stand system from Jamestown and it worked like a charm. I had to place the aft boat stands a li...

Looks great!! I remember when I primed the hull... couldn't keep the smile off my face.. it looked like a real boat (and I knew the fairing was about done, at least on the bottom :lol: ) Are you going to graphite to the spray rails in bow area or leave some area for paint? I'm considering going back...

Thanks Will, I'll do that.
