Just an update on our progress this mornin'... several of the BRAB brothers showed up. We've managed to cut some more of the fat off the riggin' & got the seat stand framed out & welded to the riggin', adjusted the sterrin' stick & we've managed to lose the tape measure a few times. We're taken a sam'ich break & tellin' a few exagurated truths & out right lies with the Possum serranadin' us on Cuzin' Eugenes music machine. It's all good!!!

Just an update on our progress this evenin'... the BRAB brothers have all gone home. The seat stand is welded in place & the expanded metal is cut for the seat box. A flat peice is welded in the driver's side of the riggin' for the "Perko" so it'll be easier get to. Lastly, a flat peice & some angle is cut & ready to make a double battery holder. So far I'm pretty happy with the way this project is turnin' out & I'm especially thankful for all the help & advice from my BRAB brothers.
Just finished a bowl of beans & some cornbread... another great day spent with good friends!!!

The boat was looking good and the tunes were cranking out Gary Stewart when I left! The BRAB established a confabulation of construction and obstruction , somewhere in the mix a AirGator got modded ! BB

Dang, what all did I miss? Last I thought you had a 19x8 airranger? I bet smaller is a bit more fun on those tight river areas though! I"m the other way, wish i had one bigger than 16 for more folks and gear.
Man good looking boat i miss mine real bad I wish I never had sold it I hope i can get another one some day but till that day looking at the boats on here will have to do

i realize most folks dont care for the wood props, and i dont think i'd want one just bc the fact their fixed pitch. although i know a fellar with a classic and a 2 blade paddle prop and its pretty fair size and runs the brazos just fine
