Nice! If that's who I think it is in the third picture that's a big boat!

Looks good so far. I hope we get to see it up close at the State Championship.

Well if That was a picture of Robin P.I'd say that was a 14' boat.

As it is I'm guessing 20'. LOL

I know what you mean about your helper there. I figured he wasn't holdin a pepsi.
I got a lot less of that kind of help when I put "Central Illinois Rough Fish Control Unit" on the side of my pontoon boat in rather official looking green letters and drove a truck very close to the same color as CPOs drive.

Guys like yor "helper would take a couple of looks and quietly disappear.

That's a nice looking frame for your platform. Where'd you get the curved tube-steel?

Im hoping to see you guys out at Horseshoe in your boat pretty soon. I wont be out this weekend(going on a float trip) but next week and weekend I will most likely be out at the lake depending on the weather. Tell eric he better not give my secret spot away. jk

looks real good and strong.
I don't recall seeing a BF boat with a rail on the rear of the platform before.
Is it just to lean on while you're shooting, or does it alsohelp keep drunks out of the fish bucket?
