Great decision.
You'll probly change your mind when you go to order it. Shit literally might cost it's weight in gold.
I also heard yesterday that it's $20 shipping PER ROLL.
Wtf.

I'd buy it full price if I was re-doing another boat. I love the stuff, worth every penny.

I almost did that on one of my past boats but the little asshole who answers the phone was so rude about it I wound up hanging up on him.

5/8/15 40* today. 40 fucking degrees! No work on the boat, was too busy BBQing and drinking beer by the pool. I did buy some stuff from BPS yesterday though. Feels like I did something.

3/29/15 Still cant get to the boat, still over a foot of snow on the ground. Trying to come up with a name though, what do you guys think of "Jet-Die"? A play on Jedi.

Ha. When it snows here it's all gone by dark the next day. Sometimes sooner.

In the process of gutting all the foam out of my FIL's boat. Once I'm done with that I can start working on mine.

Well, I finally got my FIL's 17ft PolarKraft rehabbed. Complete gut job and new foam. Now on to my jet-jon build. So far I've stockpiled the following:
17ft Landau bass boat with a mod V
seadoo jet-ski
1 Aluminium 20ft extension ladder
1 Aluminium 28ft extension ladder
1 dual bank onboard charger
LED running lights
I'm taking this week off from working on boats and going trout fishing for 4 days. Next week I'll start the build.

for framing the decks. There will be no wood on my boat! Plus it will be much lighter.
