I FINALLY got a chance to get out in the shop and start on Project Twin! Here she is when I brought her home:

You would have thought with the crazy weather we are having I would have had more chances to get on this thing, but I guess that's the way it goes some times. You would also think I would have some updated pictures of progress, but I guess I was on such a role I didn't think about taking pics!

I'll snap a few as soon as I get back out in the shop. Don't hold your breath

Sure you made progress, without proof you just told the wife you were going to the shop to work on it....

I wish I was able to take this off your hands back when you offered it to me.... This should be an awesome boat!!!!

It'd be a hoss with a pair of SHO 250's. You'd have to prop it like a bass boat though.

I seen in another post that he has a pair of merc 250 offshore engines for this.

I'm hoping for the best

I'm going to need some help proping it for sure. My motors are older used units, and I'm not building this for all out speed so honestly if I get mid-50s I'd be perfectly happy. Since I'll be selling this boat, I'm focusing on building a quality turn key toon that isn't priced out of the atmosphere. I would LOVE to drop a pair of late model 4 strokes on the back, but not only am I a little short of funding that

but my feeling is that it would price the boat out of it's market.

On a side note, I made a little more progress and I actually have pics to prove it

I'll update as soon as I get time...

Hey Craig, I might be slow but at least my ladder is mounted

OK here ya go...I replaced the back wood and vinyl flooring because the P/O had lots of extras attached to the deck and it left a lot of holes. Here it is, rear done, rub rails on, laying out the fence.

Fencing all installed with new bolts and risers. LOVE the new PontoonStuff stainless steel ladder. As a builder, I absolutely love the fact that I finally have access to a cost effective ladder that doesn't need to rest against a tube
