Agreed, I am thinking of a bigger boat when say that, I like to sit on the sides and jig, and other stuff, so non skid would be a issue there, but a small skiff with low freeboard I can see you reason.

Keep up the good work!

Allright spare, what's goin on with the McKee??
Trout and bass runnin around like ape ****, flounder (if you can find a clear creek) wanting to be stabbed, skrimp fixin to leave.
IS THAT BOAT READY???

naw, I tried to get some work done on it last weekend and everthing I touched turned to crap(my whole week was like that), I had to walk away from it before I set it a fire. Weather has been crappy all day today, spent the day with the family, did the Disney on Ice thing with the kids, droppped them off at the inlaws, the wife and I went out for diner. I'm going to piddle with teh Mckee a little tomorrow, we'll see what I get done

The boat looks great. I heard the McKee family is trying to buy back the company and get it up and running again. Let's hope so. They've built some fine boats. Keep taking good care of the family.

Nice job on the boat:beer:

baby sitting the wife right now, the chemo has really knocked her back, mentally and physically

bring it all up to date, I've got it ready for the season. Still have a few bugs, but it full speed ahead now. I took it out last December and didn't like the way it handled. I added a whale tail, transom wedges(compare a Mckee with a Whaler, the whaler has it built in), moved the battery and fuel tank under the helm seat, moved the hlem seat fwd a few more inches. It should ride a bunch betetr now. Before it hopped so bad, you couldn't keep a beer in the boat, it shook it up too much. So here's some pics.

Looks great Spare. I like the 18 gallon fuel tank install with the cover. :clap::beer:

thats where the tank was on the first try, I raised the drivers seat up about 3" and moved the tank and the battery under the seat, now the area under the rear casting deck is storage for life jackets, fenders and lines. I also made the fwd seat removable so I could take it out when not needed.
