This has been one of those projects that has gone down kicking and screaming from concept to finish. I built 3 frames before I got it like I wanted. Color did not come out like I had in mind. But today if finally come out of the shop and I am so stinking happy too!
It's 15' long designed from higher stability for fishing and messing about in. Sort of SoF Rec Boat. Large open cockpit. I included an opening in the back because any serious fisherman has a milk crate to store his gear in. I build in some hard surfaces to mount the rod holders. I will probably add an anchor trolley along one side latter on. First, I need to take it to the water and spend some time in it sizing it up and seeing if there is anything I want to change or add.
I need to install the floor boards and a rub strip on the bow and it is ready for the water. Taking a young man paddling tomorrow so I will probably take it to the water Monday and see what I can catch.
