Good work so far.

I absolutely hate grinding fiberglass, and I absolutely hate cold weather.  

Better you than me. ;D

I just finished doing the same to my boat . You'll love the deck extention. I made mine into a tackle locker. Once you get the floor back in it goes pretty quick. ;)

 Here is before and after from mine http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1200504729/0    

For some reason, that boat looks familiar. ;)

Glad to see you are getting around to that floor replacement.  I hope the redneck engineered braces didn't give you too much trouble.

Yes Jason its yours. Ya the floor I had to add some bracing to to make it through the summer but it made it. Now its time to fix it. The motor was flawless except the reverse issue. ITs started every time with out any issues what so ever. I plan on extending the deck back about 2 feet  to add more casting area. I still think it was a wonderful deal. I will keep posting as I do more.

That looks just like my 1981 Hydro sport bass boat.  

I may need some advice once it warms up a bit.  The floor in my boat needs replaced as well.

Nice work so far!

working on getting the resin and glass. Head out to terry's on Saturday in the Morning if its good with you? Talking about a hard person to get a hold of... Hurry up so you can have it done by spring  ;)

There is enough water on top of the ice to just about float a boat. This weather sucks. I hate Michigan winters. :'(
