I'm replacing all of the wood because it was all plywood and rotten. Yes, it's maroon and silver.
Since it's maroon and silver, I'm reconsidering my position on the standupforthegriz website. I was thinking of naming it "Piscatore Callibistris" in honor of that little website.

We already thought of UNSINKABLE II.
Know what happened to Unsinkable I? It sank

If I didn't have to drive, I'd want the removable seat that I'm adding. THAT is a comfy chair.
Let's make it happen though. You're looking at the pews of my church.

Your Italian sucks and so does your boat. I could accidently hit it with my 1946 32' wooden boat and not spill a drop out of my beer. Which happens to be my method of sonar.
It's Latin so.... :shrug:
You got a Chris Craft?
Sounds like a money pit.
You are exactly correct! I will trade you straight across. My next boat will be aluminum.
LOL I have a friend who has one of those. We used it in '07 in my wife's wedding that I was a part of.
. Beautiful vessel, but Jesus...BRING

I replaced all of the plywood with oak except the floor. They used treated plywood, which rots faster so I replaced it with regular plywood that I put 5 coats of thompsons water seal on it and re-carpeted. A removable/adjustable height seat is getting added to the middle.
Cool. I put a ton of hours on a 9.9 used as a kicker. Pretty bulletproof. Hope you enjoy it.
Best part of a 4-stroke.... It's quiet.
What do you have for a sailboat?
Super quiet.
No sailboat. The 9.9 kicker was on a Duckworth Pacific Navigator. It had a TR1-Gold autopilot, so we ran the kicker trolling much more than the main motor (Yam 250). Was a sweet freshwater boat. Now that I'm in the saltwater, I have a Triumph 215 CC with a 140 suzuki 4-stroke. I was really skeptical about the Roplene hull at first, but it's actually smoother than fiberglass on the rollers we get down here. It's a good boat, but I wish it had a Yam 150. I think my 140 is basically a tuned up 115.
Always looking for something just a bit bigger/better . . .
That's what your wife said ^
Nah, sounds like a REEL GOOD TIME.
Oh did I just name someone else's boat?
LongTimeCatFan said:
Dude, I wish I could name it that. There are maybe 1000 boats in my harbor, and I think 15 or more are named REEL GOOD TIME. Great name. If I had a steely damn hull, I'd name it REELIN' IN THE BEERS. Aluminum might be close enough to give it a thought.

CDAGRIZ said:I dig it. This guy is just trying to get companions on board; I doubt he's doing much fishing from that thing. (Plus, it looks half laid up):
Whatever the name, you definitely have a versatile boat.
NICE FIND!!!!
My friend who's shop I'm working on this in, (I'm working on it right now) came up with that half of the name.
He's been on that boat and said it was his favorite to sail. The owners are Jackie and Michelle.

Will do. the improvements will outlive me and my son will have a hell of a fishin boat.
I traded my grandads 14' alumacraft for this knowing it was rotten, but could make it better for another $1K. It might be $2k after I'm done.... But it's a B.O.A.T. That's to be expected.
It'll be nice after I'm done

The pussy perch is going to be super comfortable for anyone, especially someone with a fly rod. The gas pedestal raises that seat another foot. Yes Cannon downrigger mounts on both fore and aft benches. About the color change.... You didn't think I'd keep that color forever did ya? Besides, if I was going to change it at some point, it was never going to be easier than when it was already completely gutted. So that just sort of happened. Now I just need to put the oak pieces in and finish the battery mount in the bow.
And decals, wax, and a few other things.
