OK Guys and Gals its been a long time since Ive made any progress on this Project ..
But where near the finish Line now.
I started this boat project from Sept thru Sometime in February when I got too busy fixing other peoples boats to work on mine.. over the last 2 weeks or so Ive made great progress... Im close to done maybe another 2 weeks Ill actually have it in the water
..
Here is the boat day one and a couple shots from along the way
Ive bought a new steering wheel
to go with the newly remade boat, and have new carpet
Here is the pics
The Motor .. bought it for 400 maybe 350 cant remember .. I had been in salt the steering arm was shot rusted so thin was dangerous, I found a whole mid section for 100 bucks, found a tilt trim motor for 100 the old motor didnt have trim/tilt does now..
The old motor was turquoise blue sorta color yuck!! and peeling!
I swapped the motor and foot over to new mid section, and replaced the water pump while in the process, and sanded the whole motor, and primed part of it .. more work to be done on motor later..
I havent been able to touch the boat since about the 2nd week of March too busy fixing every one elses boat.. its been slow lately so I jumped back on mine..
Till next time
Later
