Good question!! It was a great duck hunting boat! I wanted to use the cash to get a bigger boat because I used to tow with a car and now I tow with a Trailblazer.
Congrats on this find! We're all excited to see your craftsmanship again..
Did you sell your Crestliner? I used to have the same boat; a 1951 Crestliner Viking. I just recently sold it...I miss that boat.
First of all, sweet boat and nice work thus far!
Flexible molding: my dad used a rubbery/plastic-like trim that's designed for stairs.. He got the stuff in the floor-covering department at Menards. I think they only came in 4' lengths but I may be wrong. Definitely worth checking out tho!
I'm a little concerned about the cheap price; however, it shifts smooth and doesn't have any problem starting (it has a brand new starter)
I'm definitely going to replace the impeller and/or water pump next season as a precautionary measure.
That's what I'm trying to figure out…he mentions getting cans of foam. To my understanding, that's essentially a hard sponge; however, I hope I'm wrong..
Electric start 35 hp Force tiller = $250
I still have that 35 hp Johnson too.. ..it's being worked on at a Marine shop. I have to call and check on that.
I am anxiously waiting to see if you've been able to make more progress. Hope all is well with the fam! I've got a little one, too... I know life can get crazy busy
You're definitely doing some good craftsmanship so far btw
I came across a 35hp tiller for cheap on Craigslist. I'm not excited that it's a Force but it is in great shape. I also got a great deal on the 9.9 Evinrude to use as a kicker on my trolling boat
