WOW, that looks really good!  Does it rock when you're on that seat?  Don't accidentally touch your legs to the battery terminals.  I'd put that battery in a battery box.  

How is that little Briggs and Stratton engine? They sort of have a cult following here because they are air cooled you can take then through mucky water with no worries.  

Looks good ....Great Job !!! I'm trying to deck out my VHull. Talking about a fun project.

I like your boat.  How did you secure your oar to the front of your rear bench?  I have been looking for some kind of snap clip to hold mine but no such luck so far.  Just wondering.

Is that McNeely Lake?   ;)

Its a 38 inch bottom is pretty stable on the seats. That is my spare battery I took today incase fish were biting. LOL at touching battery terminals.

I like the b&s so far.

Looks great. Seems as though you bought a seat pole designed for the pro style seats huh?

Yes I picked up the wrong one.

:) Yup.

I really like how large you made the front deck, looks like plenty of room. just get ya a pro-style seat sn it would be perfect. NICE JOB111

Is that McNeely Lake? ;)

:) Yup.

My wife and I spent a lot of evenings while we were in high school watching the "submarine races" at McNeely Lake.  That was back in the 60s.

I am making a sticky of a bunch of rebuilds.  Please add a few of these finished pics to the "build" thread so I can add it to the group please.

Thanks.

Yes 14'. I have about 500 photos of the build ;)

I like it LBH. Perhaps we need a special sticky thread for that too lol. I have cabin fever sooo bad right now, I'm going ice plowing out on lake Huron tomorrow. Hehehehe. We'll see if I can pull some smallies out of 28 degree water. Only in a Team Red boat.

The boat look great!  And from the video it seem very stable.   What is your painting process and paint type?

I like that red color too!

That is awesome!  You might consider putting a 13" pedestal on that rear seat.  Then you partner could swivel all around and fish off the back, etc.    Otherwise it looks like it could be limiting and confining. Don;t mean to criticize.  maybe you do have one for that.  But That is quite a beauty!   ;)Great, professional looking job!  Congrats!
