isn't plastic wonderfull...nice job guy's :kewl:

Thanks Cape!!

Its made out of 2 pieces of 3/4 Starboard to make 1 1/2" thick. Came out real nice and wikll out live the boat thats for sure!!

So MakoJoe,

Is that now a 26 foot Wellcraft you have now? Ya know if you had a slip for that boat they would try wacking you for another foot.

Seriously looks pissa, nice proportions.

I think I will buy some stock in Starboard the was Mako is going thru it this spring :laughs: :laughs:

LOL!!
The boat was 20' 6" from the factory!

Add a 29" set back and the 12" for the pulpit, and it is Just about 24 feet with out the motor!!

I guess I can show you how to stretch a boat!! :scatter:

And I say it is Starboard but it is Seaboard, Its the same stuff but 1/2 the price!!

Thanks!!

You Guys are to freakin much LMAO :lasso:

The boat looks great Macojoe!!!! I think you and BigBo need to get out on the water soon, seems like your getting a little mental!!! :laughs:

Its all the starboard we are sniffing fisherwomen!! :laughs:

I will be ready soon!! I have a few more things. Just small things!! All the big stuff is done now!~!

And if you think thats alot, look at what I did here!!

Yup Saw that the other day buddy the boat is looking sharp!!!!

Looks great, your making that boat sweeter every time. :wiggle:

Now we need fishies.

Thanks Van!! I am trying to get a 30 year old boat young again!! I think I have done ok! Should be ok for as long as I want to keeper!!

Yes now we need the fish!! Won't be long now!! :rolleyes:

Where are you getting the Starboard...

In a store silly!! I have not figured out how to make it yet myself??? :rotf2:

I am getting stuff called Seaboard, it is much much cheaper then Starboard and it the same thing!! Comes in more colors also!!

I bought the full 3/4 sheet last fall for $170, and I just bought a full sheet of 3/8 for $116 (54" X 96")

The $170 might be more now?? The web site has prices but they are not the same now. I told the guy he needs to update the site to reflect the increase.
The site says $86 for 3/8 but was $116 when I got there.
So I have no idea what a 3/4 would go for right now?

But it is still Much cheaper Starboard!!

Here they are :http://www.jfreeman.com/cpg_seaboard.html

Looks good Maco, only thing is I was always told that Starboard has no strength and will snap under a load, unlike wood which has fibrous bending strength.

We shall see!! I have heard that it is twice as strong as wood???????

O well, for better or worse I am going to find out!!
