Oh. Bad news. I'm getting evicted from the heated garage.... Buddy has some things he wants to do and there's 20' of aluminum in his way. Was a lifesaver while it lasted !! Sent from my XT1650 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
All wood is cut for the bow seating. Made framework from 1/8 aluminum channel which seems very stout, I considered a cross member but after a pile of rivets I couldn't bend it side to side. Once it's screwed to the ply it ain't going nowhere. I was going to seal the wood tonight but it's late. Tomorrow is another day !

Thank you ! Trying my best to pay attention to details. I've prob said it 20x already but I can't wait to enjoy it and not think about carpet and glue and wires and worry about browns, cohos and kings !! Sent from my XT1650 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Carpet on the back half is done. Ended up putting the Berkley rod holders on. They fit perfect with a little cutting, and are a great semi permanent option for 10$. I'll prob stuff the kids rods in there or flashers or dipsys etc. Sent from my XT1650 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Got the counsels screwed down and squared. Took 4 hands but got it in and lined up great. Layed a few more chunks of carpet.... Then realized the worst case scenario..... Not gonna have enough to do the colors I wanted on the bow seats. Soooo I'll be contemplating doing a different scheme or hopefully I can score some more of the same stuff I had and cross my fingers it's close in color.

I'm guessing, but I'd say within 100-200 yards out and 100 - 200 east of piers. Wish I could be more specific. We were in 8fow. It got hectic real quick so we never were able to drop a waypoint. We had riggers down 5-6'. Sent from my XT1650 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
