RedTop's Bass Boat project....

[TheBug]

Nice Red!  Might give a go at re-carpeting my little Nitro in the next couple years.  Gonna blow my wad on a new trolling motor this year though.

Can't wait to get back out on the water, this winter stuff really sucks.

Well apparently it doesn't suck so much for you.

I want to recarpet and re do all the seats in my boat, they are all ripped and weather beaten.  runs great though, so I am afraid if I make it all purty it will jinx me and something will break 

[RedTop]

LOL @ Homer

It's not easy...but I tell you as I'm doing it , it sure swells that chest out when you look at what ya did when it looks all nice and stuff. All the lids are about finished...the deck will hopefully get done this weekend.

My seats have no tears at all. But they were kind of dirty and stuff....So I bought some Magic erasers...And oh man. The seats are white and red on my boat.....they look great now.

This boat is a 2001....and you wouldn't believe the compliments I get on it when it's all cleaned up and shining....One guy made me show him my registration to prove it was a 2001...he just wouldn't believe me cause it looked better than is 06...lol

Good luck with it should you decide to do it...Weather here has been cold so I've been gluing lids in the house on the TV Trays while watching ESPN....LOL

That ranger is 21ft...225 Evinrude ETEC....It'll run 70 or so trimmed up good....I've seen 72 in it and it was glass water....my normal runs are no faster than 60 or so now if that....It's that I know what itll do and no need to do it again thing. LOL

All the lids are completed....hard ware goes on them tomorrow...then it's just finish the deck.

[RedTop]

Lids done...need warm weather now...finish the deck!!

[RedTop]

Screwing everything down...but this is what it will look like!!!

  Looks sharp Red!


   Now all you need is to buff the gelcoat and apply plenty of wax and elbow grease!

  I wish I was close by to help,I find polishing a finish to be very satisfying.

hahaha I got sick of trying to get mine back to color, its all grey but supposed to be red, almost the same as Reds boat.  now its 2 tone    but it runs great.

Looking good red!

Oh I'll get her waxed and ready in the next couple days....The gel coat has a gooood shine now. Just needs a good bath after a dusty winter stay in the garage.
