Right on! I like the clean, no paint look. Great build.

I have her now I am starting my installs today.

It is actually getting wrapped in vinyl graphics with my Miller Marine Products logo but the graphics only go above the rub rail on the sides and some across the back but nothing below the rub rail near the water line.

Thanks Guys I got to go get busy.

I have been waiting to get my graphics done and it has been a scheduling nightmare. I have only ran it one time on the Columbia & Willamette Rivers in Portland. The problem is I have some Shark Hide to put on so when I put it in the salt water it does not turn and I was told not to put it on before the graphics because if any of it gets on the boat where the vinyl goes it will not stick. I am hoping it will be done for the trip I have planned in a couple weeks.

I will take some pictures of the ladder in the front it is made by Garelick but I have not been able to find a picture of it on their web site.

I have been building stuff for the boat and have been busy at work and running Miller Marine. 5 more years and I hope to retire and run Miller Marine and fish. I will post some pictures soon they are on my home computer.

I got her wrapped in vinyl yesterday and I love how it came out so I figured I would share some pictures with you guys. I was surprised how affordable having this done was way cheaper than paint. The neat thing is they have these graphics saved on file so if I screw it up on the dock it can be fixed easily with a new section. The side graphics are 2 pieces and you can't hardly find the seem so he told me no problem fixing it.

Week after next I have a trip planned to Brookings, OR I lived there for 6 years and I know a few places to catch some fish there.

I finally got some pictures for you of the ladder it does not look like it is made by Garelick like I was told there is a tag on it that says GG Schmidt & Sons Marine Hardware.

Nice boat! Sure enjoyed the post.

I am looking for a better door lock and dead bolt combo, can you tell me what you have and maybe post a couple of close ups of the door lock and handle?

Thanks,

Here is a close up of the door lock it was dark so if you want the name I will get it later.

Here are some projects I have done since getting the boat home.

THX for the pics and info regarding the ladder. Your boat is really looking great! Those plastic bits are sooo VERY nice! I hope to replace the aft bulkhead and doors with Starboard...maybe I'll come to you and get them cut on your NC machine...plus I'll have to think about all my empty spaces as you have and make some really good use of those areas. I want to get the most out of a sheet. Great job and really NICE BOAT!! Capt PJ :thumbsup:

Went to the GG site...many good items! THX!

That boat is a fish killing machine. I want one!

Thank you for sharing Gundog.
