Boat trailrt

:hammer:

Chalk---Go to http://www.thectp.com/ and check for trailers. From time to time there are very good buys. I was going to build a Tolman skiff but time does not allow a 3-400 hour project. I just refurbished the ole bass boat and now call it a flats boat. At lest it was quick and relatively inexpensive.

Not much has been done....I spent some time filling some air bubbles :hammer: ....I had planned on having the bottom covered with glass this weekend, but it didn't come to be. I need to order some more supplies. Once the bottom gets covered it should go pretty quick.

I'm shooting for a fall finish, but I have a feeling it might be the spring before she is finished. It's a hurry up and wait hobby, throw in TBall, swimming, fishing and a second job and it tends to wait more :wink: :lol: .

, throw in TBall,
Given your age and your propensity for damage to near by objects from that famous windup of your's, I'm surprized they still let ya on the team :-D
