 New Boat Hello, Well the last few sundays have not been like the usual sundays, thats not at all a bad thing  . As instead of fishing my dad, brother and myself have been building a 12ft fishing boat  ... yes it may sound strange but its the truth We got the plans off the internet and got what we needed, basically all we needed to get was two large sheets of marine ply wood, and lots of fibre glass Tape and a few tins of epoxy resin. I'll let the photos do the talking...  Wood cut and ready to be bent  After Bending  Attaching the bottom, Well most of it  Taping the boat together with the fibreglass and epoxy resin  Frames  Seats, gun wall and covered area  The finished product! I never thought it would look so good, but it wasnt with out hard work (mostly from my dad and brother , i was the photographer  )We are awaiting details on an electric outboard motor and we hope to get it sorted out within the next few weeks, but for the mean time it looks like she will be getting rowed. We hope to get it out on sunday for the first time  BW __________________ Blackwater Tackle Supplies Keep Ulster's Waters Healthy, Practice Catch and Release!     |

 Re: New Boat Nice boat BW. I assume we shall see a few new Pike PBs not you'll be able to reach all those previously inaccessable fishing hotspots? Nice one mate. Don't forget the lifejackets though. __________________ Don't Judge My Path If You Haven't Walked My Journey... |
