I got the basecoat down on the boat the other day but the weather has been real sh!tty here for the last week. I hope to get the stencil work done soon. But in the mean time I got my pop-up blind mods done. I just have to add a few bimini fittings to it tomorrow. Then install my hydro turf. I have a few pictures. I think its coming along well, I managed to cut and use the tubing from the original blind last year and make it tuck behind the front deck. Its going to work much better this year. I'll post more pictures as I get more done to it.



















This is the color of "gator boat brown" it should be called "Olive Drab Green" and everyone will know what the hell it is.

Looks good, doing the same thing to mine. Just put my hydro turf in and about half way through painting with the stencil

Thanks I'll have more pics up tomorrow..

BODOUCHE_7: aren't u runnin' dat boat Hanko's copied from Aucoin? didn't it take 'em like 2 times before dey got it half azz rite? i wouldn't be forkin' w/ B about paint if i were you

THAT IS JACKED UP THAT EVERYBODY IS SAYING THAT HANKO IS COPYING RICKS HAUL ALL HE DID WAS BUILD THE FLOOR AND RIBS LIKE RICK AND PRO DRIVE DOES. LETS FACE IT THERE IS ONLY A HAND FULL OF WAYS TO BUILD A FLAT BOTTOM BOAT AND YES THE FIRST 1 HAD A 6' HOOK THAT WAS 3/16 OF AN INCH DEEP.I JUST WISH WHOEVER SAID THAT BULL SH#T WOULD CHILL OUT BEFORE THIS SH#T GETS BLOWN WAY OUT OF PROPORTION. LAST THING I NEED IS FOR RICK TO BE PISSED OFF AT ME, WITCH IT IS PROBABLY TO LATE BUT I WILL DO MY BEST TO KEEP THE PIECE!!!!!

Boat looks awesome outlaw.

Thanks Craig!! go look at the other pictures..

LOOK'S GOOD B!!!!

Outlaw, i know your building these blinds now so I hope you don't take this the wrong way but... I'm gonna start on my blind tomorrow based somewhat on your design with a few changes. Looking for a few tips on the construction of the frame. Did you join the 2 pieces of pipe before making any bends? Did you lay the pipes out on the floor to make the bends? Just a few questions. For what its worth, if I was closer to you I would have considered letting you build it for me But I don't have the time to make the drive from South Texas. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Scotty

you must be ready for duck season and so am i
