From junk to joy...pics of my project

[dh2009]

Well, I have been working on this thing for months now. (As I stated in a previous post, this is my first boat.) My wife gave me dirty looks when I brought it home. Now the boat is looking pretty descent, so I don't get those "what is that junk doing here" look anymore. So far, I have cleaned the boat up (wash, scrubbed deck, clean all kinds of gunk out of the bildge)... I mounted a 1980 Mercury 90 HP, had boat rewired, mounted trolling motor, painted the deck, installed a fuse block, bought 2 new marine batteries, added 2 rod holders, added courtesy lights, bought new bildge pump & livewell pump... and I still have a LOT left to do. At least I don't have that much work left. **Whew** The pics below are kind of progression pics. I forgot to take a pic of how the boat FIRST looked when I drug it in the driveway.

Can anyone tell me how to turn on HTML?? My pics were too large to post here.

Great job.

The "best" size pictures for here are 640 x 480. In the Non-Boating Tech area the first 3 posts are all about photos here http://forums.iboats.com/forumdisplay.php?f=32

Welcome and let me tell ya, this is a great place for advice, tips, help, and comradery. The folks on this board are the best. They've all been knee deep in it like you are, and we've all gotten those dirty looks you spoke of from the wife....... Keep those pics coming!
