I have been busy doing some much needed repairs on the inside of the boat!!

I bought 2 sheets of Starboard and went to town!!

The deck is with that Durback paint I said I was going to use a while ago. No one will slip on this stuff!!
As a matter fact it might be to much!! You don't want to kneel down on this stuff!!

I am going to do a before and after thing

Thanks all!!

That angle aluminum has been there 6 years since I bought the boat. Haven't hit it yet??
I have thought about the knee bolster's, But I have done anough for this year!!

Not bad for a 30 year old boat though! :spin:

It now has a 25 gal gas tank in there, which now gives me 65 gal gas. And I also made a small bait tank 25 gal that is stored in there when not in use.

Durabak, $120 a gal but most boats in the 20' range only need 1 gal

Ian, please don't feed him anymore ammunition. The guy's a loose cannon as it is. He doesn't need any help.
