Re: 1980 Sea Nymph SS 165 Rebuild
There you go, it just doesn't get any better than that, Dad taking the boys fishing.
Agreed!
That is a very fancy board to lay fish on,...
Looks like a great day,...............
Makes em taste better off the grill!

I was thinking about your Sea Nymph project, yur getting close buddy, not too much longer now...
Excellent job dude!!!!! I've been checking back cause I figured the Tittabawassee River was full. So what do you like about the boat? Other than it looks straight pimp. How does it fish?
Jas, I need a couple of those SN decals. Where can I get them?
The boat is awesome, real functional all around. Couple things...
When we pulled into the launch (witch was totally under water just two days prior), mud everywhere. So carpet snapped out, and thrown in the truck, great! (even though I managed to drop one of the hatch pieces face down in the wet nasty stuff, dummy)
The big port side hatch was perfect for cold weather gear to get stowed when the sun came out, big, easy to reach.
Fish box was awesome.
Just a couple of days ago I was able to figure out a way to move my trailer guide on's back further from where they were (in front of the tires). They were flared out way too wide when I mounted them there, so, I basically took a heat gun to the PVC to soften em up and bent em in to hug the boat (if that makes any sense). I'm really glad I was able to get that set. The launch yesterday was a mess, mud, deep, fast water, no dock and my boys are still too little to help so solo launching. Without those guide ons I'd have been in trouble.
We trolled the whole day so I basically stood right between the consoles and steered with my left hand watching the rods. Very comfortable setup, I could just lean forward and check the FF.
The Berts Tracks and rod holders were sweet!
The Evinrude trolled awesome. Though, I'd like to slow it down just a smidge. I was able to maintain about 1.0 - 1.7 ok against the strong current. I'd have liked too have been just one little click less than that so I might be thinking a 4 blade prop or trolling plate or something.
Overall the boat was just the right size for that river with just the right amount of space on board for 3 guys and the Chinese fire drill when Ry hollared
"FISH ON!!!!!"
Here's where I get all my decals from, great guys to work with, excellent prices!

Excellent fishing report.......
Bar has been set
Similar report expected in the 'morrow.........
Only reason to do it ^^^^ right up there, making great memories.......
Now, please
Ppass the fish n chips ..:hungry:
Ugh, I ate so much fish, sooooo good!
Well, now she is competely broke in. Wait I hear something from the garage..... Hey,
hey,heyyyyyfinish me, my turn, my turn 
Yah, honestly, the river fishing is kinda short lived. I may not get more than another 1 or 2 shots at the spring run before they move out to the Bay. Once they are out there the Islander would no doubt be a more comfortable ride, so, I need to get at it!
Looks like you had a great time. Boat looks great.
All your boat needs now is a bow mount trolling motor. :wink:
I dunno why, I just kinda prefer the stern mount eh.
Killer job on the fish, good work!
Thanks man. Some days, boat building can be a drag, yesterday was not one of those days!
