With summer about six month away and cabin fever setting in, I've been fooling around with photoshopping my ride.
What do you guys think? and with no shop or welding skills NO it is not going to turn into a project :thumbsup:
Anybody else dreaming of the perfect boat :clap:

No such thing as a perfect boat :rotfl:

BTW, what is the difference in those two pics? Your photoshop skills are very subtle.
Also, whats with all the sunshine and green lawn? If its like that this time of year up there I'm moving tomorrow . . .

Difference is about a couple feet of extra dance floor/less cabin ... notice the midsection downrigger post doubled up in second picture.
The pic was taken a month ago, we had a bit of rain storm, bilge pump failed and wise thing to do was to pull the boat out for a bit and do some maintenance/projects. We couldn't be that different for weather patterns we are just across the pond from Port Angeles.

cheers

this is now :eyepop:

Your ride will be harder on your neck and lower back.Cut and move the bulkhead up two feet. Loose the head. You get the back deck room without shrinking the cuddy and moving the helm fwd.

Photo shop a bow pulpit on that boat, it'll look great! Nice ride, nice houses too!

Not sure what you mean by bulkhead and loose the head :)

Good eye there Mooringman, building a pulpit is high on my priority list, we anchor fishing for halibut quite a bit and my anchor rode is all over the place when the wind blows.

Your aft door/wall on the cabin is your bulkhead. Do you have a toilet in the cabin? that would be the head. A naval term. :skipper:
