I installed the cockpit floor, I’m pretty happy with the result. I’m not going to say right now what it’s made of, but it’s less than $100

Not often that you get something that big done for just one boat dollar.

Keep at it!
I laughed my head off! 1 boat dollar? I'm obviously out of my league

Thanks for the laugh P-Dogg

A boat dollar is a real unit of measure, most often used in conversations with the Mrs.

I'm baack! Ha Ha!

I got a little bummed out when photo bucket stopped hosting pictures and couldn't go on :(
But I've got over it.

My wife and I have actually been living on the boat full time since we sold our house in July.
In her words "it's like being on vacation all the time"

I have a bunch to share, but I do have to get my pictures to another host or resize them to post here.
This is me towing it from the crane to our spot on the wall and one I have of our current set up

Congrats Barrie! She is looking awesome!! I was just thinking about you the other day and hoped you were enjoying the floating condo life.

We sure have!
I've done a few circles with it in the river, just to understand how it handles. We haven't been out in the lake yet, I don't have all the gear installed yet so we stay VERY close to home :lol:

Thanks Misty, I hope you got to spend some time on the water this summer.
My wife and I put over 60 hours on our little jet boat, we went out just about every day with it :)
Only about 1 hour running the Trojan though :(

It was for sure a challenge. I used vinyl instead of fabric for durability and ability to clean.
It required a lot more tension and stretching, there are over 3000 staples in the ceiling.

I will post some pictures when I get back to my work computer Monday, of the process.

Hey Misty, I haven't been around for a while. We are still on board (my wife and I) and loving it...well not the winters so much. We are coming up on our 3rd winter this year and are more prepared than ever.
here' a couple pictures of our first winter, last winter and this summer at the dock :)
