Sonic,
Would you be willing to share the plans? We love the design. Just kidding. After our remodel last year, I ran out of fortitude for another building project for at least 2 more years. Can’t wait until you post pics of the finished product.

Here is the composite deck tile i finished off yesterday on 1 side. It's is basically a pool tile with an air gap below it...excited to see how it works this summer.

I like it, looks beachy

That is the product up here in Canada, if anyone is interested!
That looks really good. Is it free floating or is it glues down?
it's free floating...the hull shape makes it time consuming to measure each piece and run it through a sliding mitre saw at an angle!
what was under the tile? carpet or composite floor?
I like the way that looks, I hope it helps with the weird bottom of boat slime. I used this mat, I think I found it searching for bartender mat. It works great! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...79aab6595d.jpg

While the boat is put up for the winter, the focus has been turned to packing the freezer and ranch improvements.
Picked up a new disc harrow for the Kubota:

Trying to reclaim some old pasture full of prickly pear that isn't doing me any good and turn it into a productive dove ground. Made a test strip where I removed the pear, disced, and will seed with sunflower, sorghum, and milo for next season:

That looks good! I work on a little food plot for deer season every year in the woods behind my house. Wish I had a disc like that! The ole ‘57 JD 420 with a box still gets it done, just takes a few (dozen) more passes lol:

Pretty JD... what do you plant in your deer plot?
I have small rider that somehow survived 4 generations of abuse in my family.

Don’t make them like they used to...
Here’s my other tractor, just got a set of forklift forks for the bucket and wish I had gotten them 10 years ago:

It’s amazing how handy they are. I use my tractor for all kinds of things not just for moving dirt or brush hogging. Used it few years back to change out the V bunk boards on the trailer.

Added double layers of Noico 80 mil butyl and aluminized heat shield to the trans and engine covers:

And it may seem trivial, but rerouted / cleaned up all the wiring so I could actually close the battery boxes. Always amazes me that you pay so much for a new boat and you get a rats nest with wires chaffing on the sharp plastic edges:

Looking good. We added the Noico as well, made a pretty big difference on noise. There is also a large gap between the trans cover and the wall. Added a piece of weather stripping there.
At least you could re-route the wires on these boats, our 5th wheel is such a mess on wires and they are too short, there's no way to close the lids on them. They use screws for the lids, so for now I just put longer ones in it. That's another thing on my list to work on this winter.
Wires - not a SC thing, dealers install those. Someone trying to get the prepping done in a rush - batteries, tower speakers, etc.
Couldn’t take it any longer and I had to go see the boat! No rat turds or crazy surprises so that’s good heh. Swung by my dealer to pick up some goodies for this season too. Not bad at $58 per bag including taxes. I put 100 lbs under the front bow cushion, 100 lbs each side under the helm storage and 100 lbs under each rear bag. Can’t wait to tune in the new wave!

I’ve made more progress on the 69 C10 than I thought I would this winter and she’s finally a roller. Time to put it “on the shelf” for summer. I picked up a LS3/TR6060 from a 2011 Camaro SS, and a Ford Explorer 8.8 rear axle (that I put 4:30 gears in). I also put a cam/springs/timing chain/oil pump in the engine while I had it out plus some Chevy orange paint for that old school look.

That thing is looking slick!
Thanks! Still have a LONG way to go but rather proud of the progress I’ve made. I took this pic on November 14th when I was pushing it into the shop:
