CM and I was talking about this today and I promised him some pictures, so here they are. To let everyone else know how I did it, get you some Krylon Camo in a spray can. Get you some posterboard and draw shapes on the postboard. Then get an exact-o knife and cut the shapes out (watch all appendages and keep them out of the front side of the knife :shock: ). place posterboard over the object desided painting. Spray. Lift posterboard, not to let it drag across and smearing the paint. Let dry and them apply second color.


Here's the floor I made and the War Eagle box that I repainted. CM you can see how I didn't paint the top, no-skid will be placed on that instead as a dog stand.



Here you can see how I added a lower skirt to the original control bracket to add my 12volt power source for spotlight. I also upgraded the navigation light switch to a more modern switch and added my bow lights with a matching switch and the LED courtesy lights have a switch too......the round pull knob is the bilge pump. Depthfinder is just that....a p.o.s. and the RAM GPS mount works awesome.


More pic's to come.

Here's the bow mounted lights I made (base and brush guards).




Know you got a better idea what I was talking about.......right now I'm currently camo'ing the trolling motor too.......that's a little touchy there, with all those rounded surfaces.

Thanks gang...........it's really not that hard to do. My good friend Hal told me how to do it. Thus me only going on word of mouth, I gave it a try.

The bow mounted lights work great......I very rarely use the spotlight anymore in the mornings now.......however if I had more than a 25hp motor on the boat, I'd not relie on them near as much.......eventhough they are 55 watt driving lights, they just don't shine far enough for speeds above 30mph in my book.

One thing I'd done differently ............ made the brush guards out of thicker steel (aluminum if I could have gotten my hands on it)......I had to settle with what I had due to season around the corner.......next year it will be 'right' !

Thanks again.
391

p.s. COOTER-TURTLE......no worries, season ends Jan 29th :sad:

Many things you don't know about JoJo 391. Man of mystery.
