Just ordered me a new Hobart Handler 190 with spoolgun, as soon as it comes in it'll be time to get after it hot and heavy. Plenty more pics to come.

 

great work so far :tu:

 

Thanks. She's still got a ways to go. I'm gonna need a couple converters to help juice the 70# riptide I got for it.

 

Just give me a shout! A 70 will drag that thing all over the place with no issues :tu:

 

Looking Good!!!!

 

looking good

 

Come home and it felt like Christmas....Hobart Handler 190 with SpoolRunner 100, new welding hood, 24v Powermax converter (thanks Gbollom), and 10 econolight 300 watt halos. Looks like its time to get with it and get this boat finished.

Got the deck framed up. Next step is build the light brackets.

Put the same pic twice on accident. Here's another view.

Looking good, brings back memories of the long nights after work tearing everything out of my boat lol, makes it that much sweeter when you get it on the water tho,,

 

Definitely ready to get it on the water. But I'm enjoying the build process, knowing that its built how I want it.

 

Looks like it's gonna be a bad little boat. What the heck are all the bar stools in the background for?

 

My cousin manages a night club and we are working on the boat in the back warehouse.

 

Nice always a good time redoing a boat yourself makes it alot better when your filling it up with fish!

 

Got new side panels broke and getting them installed.

looking good! plenty of bracing in that deck! What kinf of nightclub?

 

Yea had to go with plenty bracing. We got some 4x10' sheets of .080 aluminum at a deal so the extra bracing is there to compinsate for the flex.

 

Time for another update on progress. Got the light brackets built, and decking mounted.

<a href="http://s1337.photobucket.com/albums/o661/eddieellis/?action=view&current=E37BC8F9-95A6-4A0A-B782-08EED9A8EA86-12753-00001809F7E133D6_zps033f1c0a.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1337.photobucket.com/albums/o661/eddieellis/E37BC8F9-95A6-4A0A-B782-08EED9A8EA86-12753-00001809F7E133D6_zps033f1c0a.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos" /></a>

Still gotta finish up the new console and get it mounted. Working on building a new throttle mount too thatll ill get a pic of when finished.

Also got the converter box build. Went with the blue led fans to keep the converter cool on those hot, muggy Arkansas summer nights.

Awesome looking boat

 

:cheers::cheers:looking good

 

Preciate it yall. It's coming along, slowly but surely.

 

Looks good man. Hows that Hobart doing?

 

Thanks man. The hobart is kickin ass and taking names. She's handled everything from .080 to 1/4 in.

 

Wish I'd had the resources for all this when I did my build. Maybe next time. That looks crazy good man

 

Finished up the throttle bracket and housing.
