Hi Guys I've been a member here for a while, but have diy bass boat deck extension Diy Bass Boat Deck Extension 96 96 a bit lazy to post this build thread get your coffee, this is gonna take a. I've Diy Bass Boat Deck Extension 96 got this posted on another site so some of you might have seen it already, but if not enjoy.
This forum has a healthy DIY section so I thought dexk would add to it. I've been a mad Diy Bass Boat Deck Extension 96 bass fisherman for years and have owned deep sea and bass boats. I enjoy making my own tackle and tinkering with the odd tool so I thought why not build my own boat. Well that was 18 months ago, I work every spare minute I have on the boat, but it's nearly.
Trying not to re-invent the wheel I bought plans from a company in Florida USA for a flats boat design, they had a bass boat but I didn't like the hull shape. The flats boat would work better for my requirements after some redesigning of the deck. So the hull shape is from plans, the rest is my design or lack thereof.Diy Bass Boat Deck Extension 96
The boat is constructed out of marine ply wood completely encased in Epoxy fibreglass, basically a composite boat fibreglass with Diy Bass Boat Deck Extension 96 Diy Bass Boat Deck Extension 96 a ply core.

It is very clear how much extensikn diy bass boat deck extension 96 into not just the build but the design. Please keep us up to speed. Hey guys thanks for the nice comments. To diy bass boat deck extension 96 the questions about time and cost I need to first stress that the pictures that I have posted are a very compressed version of the build.
I started building the boat on the 3rd Oct I've never kept a log of building time, but if I average it out Diy Bass Boat Deck Extension 96 at 15 hours a week which is pretty realistic, I'm in for just over hours. For costs, the raw material for the boat has cost over R35K, plus another R5K for consumables and the odd extra tool I Diy Bass Boat Deck Extension 96 needed.
I still need to add, steering R2. So no it's definately not cheaper than buying a boat, but it's a Diy Boat Deck Extension Detection lot more satisfying. I used the very best materials I could find and took no shortcuts. I only work on the boat over weekends now so progress is slow, but I'll update the thread Diy Bass Boat Deck Extension 96 as I move.
