thats ok ..your making good progress ..get the inner skin cleaned up down to the bare glass ..make your template outta cardboard then transfer it over to the first new piece of plywood
are you putting the I/O back in or closing it up and adding a bracket...leave the outter skin and peel away the inside once you get to that point ill keep going
Thanks for the suggestions fellas appreciate it ...love my St Croixs ..anyone use the Browning Rods from Bass pro..Dave so your saying just bring my walleye gear maybe ?
that would be ideal..and a great lesson ...unfortunately its easier to ask for forgiveness then permission nowadays ...Ive been building for 20 yrs...this guy will get a light fine and a slap on the wrist
