The crabbing machine

[rutnstrut]

Just a little project i was working on for two months. My boat is a 1987 14 ft Grumman GFS deep v bottom. I completely stripped the boat down removed a stickers, sanded and primed inside and out. I painted the boat with two coats of Parker's Duck boat paint in hunter green. I rhino lined the interior bottom of the boat, for a no slip texture. I added three new camo swivel seats, w/ brackets, new stern, bow lights, new bilge pump and a new battery box w/ toggle switches and all new wiring inside conduit to run my electronics. I added a front spot light and a trot line prop stick. After the crabbing season i plan on framing out the front to add a storage area for equipment and decoys. I plan on adding camo swamp grass stencils for duck season. I installed new bearings, races and new tires with rims, new gunnel strap and last but not least a new trailer waterproof cover. My crabbing machine will be powered with a 15 hp Johnson short shaft.

Excellant crabbing boat. But what caught my eye was that 65 or 66 Mustang in the garage----another sweet machine.

Good luck on the water.

Very nice. One thing I would like to mention is the height of your stern light. I have the same one, and a DNR officer pulled me over and said it wasn't tall enough. Off the top of my head I believe the law states around 1 meter tall.

I am in the intermediate stages of refurbing a 1972 16' Jon Dory for crabbing. Can you tell me where I can get the paint and non-skid you used for your boat? thanks
