So Holly really likes going fishing. We use the canoe sometimes but when it's just the 2 of us it's hard for old dad to handle the 16' Old Town on and off the Pilot etc. thanks to you tube and interwebs I discovered the cool process of "PMF" Poor Mans Fiberglass and we're starting a build. Doing it over a few months as we are on a budget and can only spend $40 a week. Had 2 weeks worth saved and we went and got 3 sheets of foam and some adhesive. Started cutting and gluing and so far it's been fun. Once we get the layers all glued and then sanded to the final shape the whole shebang gets covered in Titebond 3 and old bedsheets and then painted with exterior paint a few coats to seal it all and stick it all together. I'll be using plywood in some spots for strength and mounting things like handles and a cheap trolling motor. This should end up being light enough for me to put on the roof and take off without needing another person or wrecking my back LOL.
