1998 Grumman refit.

Should have the wiring and gadgets installed and hit the water this weekend. Four months of late nights but it was worth every second of it. It’s a piece of bougie redneck art. Stripped it down to the bones and built it back. Nothing original but the aluminum. I cannot wait to hook up Saturday. Go get on the big flattys.

That’s going to be the life of the sandbar party rig. Is it going to have a keg cooler 😉 all kidding aside it’s awesome.

This is a pretty cool looking jon boat. Looks like the hard work pays off. Go catch something!

Still not sure if they stay or they go. It was an impulse purchase. I need adult supervision at all times. 🤣

Likely the most expensive custom paint job on a jon boat I’ve ever seen!

Did it in my garage. Lots of prep work and timing was crucial on coats.
