chevy…how do you like the diamond plate deck on the front. i have one maid of plywood right now on mine. Does it get hot? Do you know how heavy it is? I’ve been thinking about doing something different with mine. I like the way you have yours done. Nice Work!

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

OPti, that sure is a clean whaler, mine sure doesnt look that good, been run hard and put up wet, lots of cracks in the Gelcoat, Guess running a 200 black max on a 17’ has taken its toll! Wore out Store creek and the sound and out to the 40 tho!
Thanks. It’s not as good as it looks in the pic… it’s covered in gel coat crazing. Typical for one it’s age (1966). The outer hull had been overcoated with cheap paint by the prior owner (you can see where it has peeled off in spots). I did repair several holes and some glass damage in the transom area. You can see its a lighter shade of blue. But it’s dry (hull weighs 275# bare) so that’s the important thing. Some day I will refurbish her but I’m having too much fun fishing it
