Re: Bob's FS18
Many thanks to everyone for the kind words and Happy New Year! I was so excited to finish things up and get out on the water that I didn't really get to post any "finish" photos. The kit arrived in March of 2019 and I splashed the boat 2 1/2 years later on September 14, 2021. Drove straight down to the Keys a few days later and fished it in the Herman Lucerne Memorial tournament in Everglades National Park. Unbelievable!
Really happy with the finishing touches, including the SeaDek, the powder coat, and the dash panel I had cut. A You Tube video tutored me on the grab bar wrap, which kind of color matches the rub rail.
Hooked up and ready to head south.
