You're really getting her fixed up .  That looked like a piece of pine for the a/c unit, nicely shaped.



Thats exactly what it is. I have some really thin white plastic that I plan on sheeting it with. Easier to paint. I am also putting the cooling grates in the sides to give it some depth.

I want to thank all of you for your comments and suggestions. They were all very helpful.

It has been a blast to build this boat and I have learned a lot along the way.

Really not too sure what is next, but I'm looking at a springer tug and push barge. Just looking right now.

I have a bunch of info on it and its looks like it would be a fun build and a fun boat to run.

I guess we'll see if it pans out.

Again, Thank you to all.

As I get new pictures or video I'll post it here.
I need a couple of new pictures in the post to update the finished boat sitting in the water with all the scale goodies on it.

Status: offline 		Springers are cool. You can build one to scale or one for whimsey.. Even one that mixes the two.  I know there is a "regulation" size springer if you want to use it for competition but if not build it how you want it.  What ever you build it will be a thread to watch!

CA and epoxy will work. If you have a lot of time, Elmers wood glue.

Status: offline 		In case anyone is still watching this forum, while I have been out of work on sick leave I found a reality show on the History Channel called "Big Shrimpin". I have taped two shows and they are pretty good. They sail out of Louisiana.
BTW, I use Comcast and a cable provider.
Check it out.
