Finally the Hourston rebuild pics

[Klob]

Nice work Boy's! Love the upper lounge deck. Maybe some more drink holders?

Kelly, could you detail some of the custom mods that made this one of the best for you as far as layouts? Right away I noticed the rear stearing, and really like the rear sounder/gps (even without the steering this would be handy for those running the gear and working the bottom)

I can see the rear storage compartments (x3) where you made use of the new transom space....

can you list some of your favorites that weren't visible in the pictures? A deadly rig for sure....will be one of the quicker boats in the sound thats for sure!

As you said the rear steering, rear sounder/gps but also the third down rigger, cutting block on the back, pod cannonball holders and just the clean simple layout. As Bod said its almost like a beefed up 16 foot hourston.


Haha Brian she's got 4 drink holders but i know how you fish. Perhaps we need more incase someone wants to double fist.

love how you guys got rid of the original hard top, sooooo much better with that custom top. What did you guys coat the seat boxes and floor with, did you glass over them? I can't tell.

Are those the tractor seats talked about earlier?

 

[Charter Tofino]

The seat boxes/floor are glassed and gelcoated inside and out. For the floor they ground up walnuts into the gelcoat and it works great.

Nope not tractors they are Tempress.
