Thanks fellas. Cy, you ever check your b-mail. Can't wait to get her out on the ocean, maybe next week. Heck with the weather forecast we have I won't even get to use my heater. ;) Guess I'll have to focus on my anchoring situation next. Gotta keep the projects rolling you know.

Looks Great!! and the rod holders are awesome!!

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Airslot, Looking Great buddy. ;D

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

So Slot, did you hit that hour and a half backup in Frederick like i did?

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Air your looking like the King of the world with that house, land and rigged up V. Nice job man ;)

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Ya know Willy, I'm a blessed man. Not quite King of the Word, but I'm very Happy with my piece.

Cy, yep, we hit a litte traffic around Frederick, but nothing like I was in on the return trip day after Christmas.

2nd that - nice house. Looks private, you know like Slot probably walks out to the boat in his underwear and turns on his heater. ::)

I know I do ;D

I really like those "outrodders" or whatever you call them. Those are the ticket. I have some similar but they only hold the one rod off to the side.

The enclosure adds a whole new dimension to the boat. Props Dawg!

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Sweet enclosure and rod set up. Looks like your ready for the strippers now. Go out and enjoy it. ;D

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Thanks boys. Turbo I'm ready to roll when work permits. I'll be chasing stripers, as momma tends to permit that. Strippers on the other, ;D don't go over so well around the homefront. ;D

Funny how one extra key strooke can change the topic of a sentence. ;D

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Hey TD, does that say you have a 90 Merc on your V20?

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Boat looks great, nice house/property too!

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

That is correct Randle. A 1984 90 hp Mercury tower of power.

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Air: as pretty a day as it is I thought you would be out on the water in that new enclosure. What gives. ???

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Air is at work, where it appears to be blowing 25 kts. Other factors, bait shop closed till Monday. I think I can get some eels from a buddy and head out early am for an hour or two tommorrow.

Airslot

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...

Airslot ;D

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

AMEN there brother AMEN

Dont here of anybody else at work on a sat.

I'll be here tomorrw too, how about you.

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Nope, you got to hold the fort down for us on Sunday. Sunday is usually my day off with the exception of about 1 a month. I can always be found at work 6 days a week, but not always all day ;D

Airslot

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Stop by between 6am and 6pm and say hello. Maybe well fry up some more rock fish. ;D

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Man now your giving away my fish!! ::) Thursday looks decent. Have eels swimming in the garage & I need to kill them..

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

I'll double check with the boss but I think I will be able to go. :D

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

I rode around in my new enclosure today, let a couple of eels swim for while, and stayed real cozy the whole time. Man I love this top. I've got some pics to upload in the AM.

Airslot

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

really glad you are happy with it, hope you get lots of use ouy of it. :D

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Hey Slot, I might have missed this but are you gonna or have you already applied any scotch guard type rain proofing stuff to your canvas? Whats the word on doing that? Good / bad? What's the best stuff to use?

Just trying to get some info on canvas. My current top is vinyl and if I redo it one day I think I'll go with sunbrella or the like. Curous on waterproofability after a good sustained soaking. They vinyl does great.

Thanks,
Blue

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

BR, mine is a Sunbrella "like" canvas and has never needed any Scotchgard or other treatment...for what a guy pays for the stuff, it better not ever leak ;) ;D ...

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

We've had a mess of rain the last few days and she has held up well. I was told told use 3m 303 fabric protector a couple times a year on the Sunbrella.

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Airslot. Your enclosure looks sooooo clear. Man, wondering if I should have saved more $$ :-/

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Have to see how long it stays that way? I used it in the ocean Sunday and did have a bit of salt on it. Got home in the rain but hosed it off and it rained a flood. Have to see how much work it takes to keep it so clear.

Airslot

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

This going to be interesting, I see that they have different glass. They have stuff called 20/20 and is to be as clear as glass.

I just wonder if its worth the extra cash?? Salt is tuff!! Gets real gritty when dry.
I wonder if one is more scratch resistant then another?

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Mine is 40 ga. "rollaglass" I believe.

Airslot

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Air , where did u buy those rod holder.... ai want a couple of those 8)

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Lumber, I assume your talking about my 2-rod outrodder? Had em custom made by a local welder. Walked in, told him what I wanted (on a Friday afternoon), waived a few greenbacks in his face, and he said come back in an hour. Worked out beautifully. Sometimes it's amazing what you can get done with Johny Cash on a Friday afternoon ;D

Airslot

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

An HOUR!! :o ...was Johnny totin'?? ;D

Re: Enclosure done, with pics...
 

Hey Slot,

I keep hearing the best way to maintain that rolla glass is to use car wax and a "powerball" on a drill.

Just adding my 2 cents ;D
