Stinkys V18 repairs....

[Stinky_Hooker]

Well guys I have been working my butt of lately on the 18. I am going to post some pics later this weekend when i finish things up, but I wanted to go ahead and list some on the things Ive done while I can remember them. ::)


-Lots of Misc. wiring repairs

-new steering cable

-I glassed some plywood down in the front storage area over the foam between the stringers. This helped seal out water and gave me a better place to store stuff.

-I painted the front area with urethane


-all new anchor rope and chain

-I went to my buddys last night and we built an anchor roller out of aluminum plate. Its NICE! I am going to put a roller on it and itll be good to go (pics later)-. I am putting in a bow anchor rope storage box with hawse and a lock too...now it will all stay put!!



-I built a recessed tackle box thats in the front of the console. I am also organizing all my tackle into rubbermaid totes so it can stay on the boat at all times. Iit even has a light! 8)

-I installed speakers and a cd player

-I pulled all the old aireator hoses out of the hull and replaced leaky brass cutoff valve for the intake in the bilge ( I was wondering why my bilge pump ran so much... :o)

-I fiberglassed a few busted up areas on *rod boxes


ill take pictures later tonight or this weekend.....I am sure more will come to me as well. ;D
