Well, wood is epoxied with 3 coats, floor is re-fiberglassed where the screws held the old floor down. Nice and sealed up.    Now, I'll get some riv-nuts in there so I can bolt the floor down instead of screw it so I can take it up whenever I want.    I'm ordering some Monstaliner to seal the floor in when it's all in there so there can be ZERO water that gets to it, no matter what.  I'll be doing snap in carpet this time, not gluing it down so I can take it out and dry it. Which I should be ordering soon once I get off my lazy butt to measure the old carpet and get a good size.    It's getting closer!    There is no new pictures to be taken or posted. It's just the same stuff but with epoxy on it now. Nothing really changed. 

TMF, Thats exactly right. That first day, taking advantage of the situation for a quick buck.... NO WAY will I ever buy from them.

I've never had an issue with it. All my AR's seem to think its fine. Maybe you just got some from a bad batch or your Sigs got a super tight chamber?

saw that as well, looks quite... interesting....

WC844 (H335) and thats about it. I have so much, I doubt I'll be using anything else, anytime soon.

Everyone is just pathetic in DC. Enough said.

Rotten old floor panel [url=http://s95.photobucket.com/user/eat7thirdythree/media/image_zps4d765c31.jpg.html][/URL] Just doing some mockup to make sure it all fits. Everything has to come back out, get sealed, have to do the fiberglass work underneath, then it can all go back together and I can lay carpet and figure out how I want to design my hook and all that fun stuff.

ps, noticed you haven't read my PM yet. You'll enjoy the pictures when you do :)

You've never had one? Man, I can't even tell you how many times I've had one. Best training there is, is actually doing it. I have a funny video of my squad bored in Germany on a training rotation and I put it up my grenadiers nose, and had to stop. He kept yelling "its going in my brain!!" and after it was pulled out it was all bloody. Thats when you know your doing something wrong. haha.    Anyways, best find a buddy and get to it :)

Best way to teach it, Is actually use it. Hope you like nasopharyngeal's. :)

  I get mine from work when I actually go (Afghanistan), and my buddy just started up a company selling blow out kits for personal body armor. So, since I sort of quit my job I plan on using him as my primary supplier now. I stocked up good from the Army as well when I was in. We had a massive abundance of things and it was either we take it, or it was getting tossed when we left our first deployment. Got pretty lucky honestly.    I'm going to PM you, hope you don't mind pictures of what I was talking about earlier. 

Much more than that. And thankfully because I had to use an Israeli bandage the other day from a ricochet. Punched a whole in my buddies chest and hit a rib and bounced out. I'll never have enough medical stuff. Because you'll always use it. Period.

Funny enough, in June I traveled to Minnesota to a buddies wedding and we took almost the same picture. [URL=http://s95.photobucket.com/user/eat7thirdythree/media/1244120_10151661275603731_1334131418_o_zpsedfc73c7.jpg.html][/URL]

Thanks guys!   Went to West Marine today, got a gallon of epoxy, hardener, fiberglass, and some tother small stuff.    Got the Marine grade plywood at "Nashville Plywood" on 28th yesterday. They were great and had it in stock. $522 for 8 sheets though..... I hope I don't make a bad cut!!   About $750 into this now with all my materials for the floors and wood work. Figuring about $800 more for the vinyl, foam, and work done to make the seats (at least thats my LOW guess..... )   I'm waiting for my neighbor to have some more free time to help me out and get the floors cut and placed in and epoxied and glassed down. It's about a day to dry, and I need 2 coats, if not more. So this was thought to be a 2 day project to start, now its turning into weeks. haha. Ehh, its a project, I need something to do in my spare time.    Need to also find carpet... forgot about that cost..... ugh.

I dont think the ones he does have would listen anyways.

I'm ok with paying someone to do it. Was trying to help a TGO member out with some money on the side though.    Thank you for the response David!

Anyone on here good with sewing vinyl? Im looking to custom make new boat seats and would LOVE some local help. Beer and $$ obviously involved. ha. Looking for guys that can do legit work. I want this to be perfect. Not trying to be a snob or butt head here, but this means a lot to me, and I want it done right.    Please PM me if you have experience in this and would be willing to make a little cash money on the side.

Mine is an 8.5 and I think its perfect. 

After it sank, and I was gone and my dad rebuilt it.

Well, I'm back at it. I've had my boat since I left the Army. Was a gift from my dad. Spent 3 months rebuilding the outside and working my butt off to make her run like new. About a year after I finished it I noticed the floor was getting rotten and the wood was giving me some issues. Well, I figured once I had spare time I'd build the floors and completely remodel it. And, that time has come. Little history of this boat. It's a 1972 Winner Viscount 21'. It's been in my family since day one. In 1979 to 1980 my dad took a chainsaw to the rear and made it an inboard and dropped a 350 chevy engine in her. In 2007 or 2008 it sank while I was deployed. My dad gave it to me as a 20th birthday present and rebuilt it while I was on my first deployment. Thats when I came home and repainted it and made her perfect. Or so I thought... Anyways, I'm pretty much home for good from working in Afghanistan. Trying to have a baby now and I kinda need to be home for that... Mail man can't have all the fun, right? So, last minute whim I said to the wife, lets drive to Minnesota (where I am from and my family lives still) and get my boat. We left Tuesday, and got home thursday. 13.5 hours up, 16 hours back. Lot slower towing this thing... Worst part, 20 MPG up, 9.6 MPG back. Yeah, I miss my diesel, and couldn't stop thinking about how much I wish I still had it driving home. Haha. This thing sat for 2 years since I moved down here, and had some bad water damage that warped the side panels and front panels to the cabin so it was inevitable I had to do at least a little work on it. So, Couldn't start working on it friday. It was the wife's birthday so I had to wait tell today. Thankfully I have some amazing neighbors who came over to help. I couldn't have tore up as much in one day if it wasn't for them. I do wish I took a picture before we started. But I might be able to find an old one of it. Carpet and wood work is gone. At least I put a new gas tank in it in 2009, right? HA. The old aluminum one had flaking particles clogging my gas line, so I figured a new plastic one would be much better for the long run. Vroom, Vroom. Bad wood where the passenger seat was. This little spot made me want to do the entire boat. And I'm sure glad I did after taking the floor up today! Found an uninvited guests home. No idea how old that is... Floors are all pealed up, we left them there for something to walk on. Rotten screws and nails holding them down with fiberglass over top so we didnt know where they where, so, little pri-bar then a saw zaw and good teamwork, done and done. I'll keep posting pictures as I go and see what I can come up with for old ones of the inside to give you an idea of before and after.

is that an "empire state arms co" .32 by chance?    

You know I just made a couple thousand 223 the other day mike. We need to get out shooting!

This shutdown will also kill. Military pensions and disability payments. If that includes any of you the VA said it will go bankrupt in 2-3 weeks if they pay those checks out to people with no income from the gooberment. So they said if it lasts longer than 2-3 weeks, they won't pay out.

Same. Been using it for a very long time. Never gets old though knowing what I make my rounds for as the market for supplies changes

Great deed on both your parts!   Very nice good sir.
