yes sir we may be bass ackwards but we kill a lot of fish, shiny decks arnt shiny anymore, no coolers needed, built in fish box, bring your own cooler full of beer, I dont provide.

Just in time for springers, start fishing next week end.

Wow, looks awesome, are the chines reverse down at 6 or 10 degrees or flat, and what is the dead rise? Never mind, I see the 10 or so degree down turn. That thing will be a great riding stable drifting fuel efficient fish killing machine.

Just emailed Bruce to see if we could loose the motor well, extend transom to put motors aft, add fish holds forward and aft, and ask a few other performance questions. I'd consider building that 36' patrol boat for an awesome walk around tuna slayer if I sold Reel Song II after tuna season. I'm kin...

That 26' walk around is cool but the 36' patrol boat just made my short list for potential future builds if I decide to sale my last offshore build. 22 degree go fast boat I like it!

Aint they purdy

Had to build a plate with three holes and a lifting eye and bolt to flywheel. Hung them today

Yea, I'll call Lloyd in the AM. No lifting eye's like my old yammies

Anyone know where the lifting points are on the new 200 sho yammies, cant seem to figure it out.

Transom shot

I know most of you like to keep aluminum unpainted but I had enough material left from the big build so I painted the sled today. Hope you like it, maybe next time sand blast and acid wash.

My tig is a syncrowave 250 and my gun is a pulse, 350P both work awesome for boat builds

Gotcha, I can give Jim a call, the guy who cut my bottom plate or give him a call yourself, at RBboats, he might just sell you a paper pattern.

Anyone know where I can find rubber covering for 2"x1" rectangular tubing? for inside gunwale rail

Thanks Fisherman, , Netman, you can buy a pattern or there's some great softwear out there, look on spectrum boats, or give Chris with CTMD a shout.

Todays welding

Built seat boxes and pedastals , then Christmas came early

Getting close to zolotone time, hopefully I havnt forgotten anything

I cant answer which is better or best, I've built one like this for the Ocean, and one like this for the river.

Jetty, welding diamond plate is a little different because every time you get to a diamond your weld wants to stand up, but with a little practice you figure out when to add rod and when not to and how much. Yes the diamond plate is welded on top of the smooth plate and while some is for looks, it a...

When I weld out the floors and sides I'll start in the middle and skip or back step weld 3" on 12" schedule, Bruce Pollard has a good book on building aluminum boats that I believe explains skip, back step, chain and stitch welding on aluminum boats. I hear its a must read. I got a full we...

Front deck, fish box, rod lockers, and trays all went in today, amazing what you can get done when no one is around

John, thank you, I should have it done, just depends on when I get to work on it. I may get to work on it again Saturday
