Added pics to my last post. Still waiting for it to warm up - should be above freezing somtime in April...

Will be working on an HC12 over the holidays. Atleast I can do that one in a heated space at my Dad's. I will post pics in a seperate thread after its done.

Until then, Merry Christmas!

We still have a little winter to go through AH but hang in there we will be back on those Musky before you know it!
It's Perch time for now.
Very nice build.

Thanks Joe! I have been following your build also, and it looks great. With a heated work space, boatbuilding would be a great way to fill the winter months up here. I may be shopping for heaters in January.

It has been since Dec. 09 since my last post. No complaints - just been taking care of priorities, raising two kids, a third on the way; not to mention work, vacations,fishing trips, hunting trips, etc., and my nesting HC-12 project posted on my other thread.

The kids have been asking about a boat trip all spring, so it was time to accept the workboat finish, put on some paint, and splash it. Father's day was my goal. I didn't have time to register it, but that didn't keep us from using some oars for a relaxing afternoon. Attached are some shots:

A very Happy Father's Day splash!

General notes:
Graphite on the Bottom
Bluewater Alkyd Enamel in Camo Olive on the exterior (helps hide imperfections)
Rustoleum Marine Alkyd Enamel in Oyster White on the interior
Non-skid mixed in with the paint for the floor

Thanks S&F!

I'm not sure why the other pics are small, but they can be seen in my gallery:
