Step 8Add water + motor and battery
Or just use it as a car cap, We called him habeeb. "this was 5am"
The plywood on the top of the frame spreads the weight out over the frame so make sure you have it or you could crack the pipe if you stand on one part of it.
Don't forget life preservers even if you have just one for 2 people. We brought 2 oars too, just to get in the water before adding the motor and battery.
And we were VERY pleased it rode very high on the water. And then when we put the motor on it worked even nicer. We stayed out at the lake for 2 hours cruising around on the water watching the sun come up after a long nights work. I promise I will have more pictures and videos. But i expect to be fishing out of this boat quite a bit now its a VERY stable platform to fish from.
Please comment on anything you like I would love to hear from you, even if it is negative haha.
Look back for updates soon.

if the back flexes like you say, reinforce the back horizontily and add a piece of playwood accross the entire stern...maybe that will make it more rigid.
Personally, I would have used fibreglass instead of the tarp, but that's just me.
I think this is a great looking little boat, with a lot of potential water time in its future. :)
TY for sharing!!
