[QUOTE="Holdemhook56, post: 382271, member: 17701"] Made a little progress over the weekend. A little aluminum brightner and a lot of scrubbing and she cleaned up pretty nice. Bought this little Briggs outboard from a friend for $250 and it really runs like new. Should push Crappie Days pretty well with just me, and mostly it will be just me and sometimes my little 3 year old. For now it will work just fine till I find an old 18 horse like I want. I put the boat on an old gator trailer I've had for years, now just needs bunks and rollers fitted for the boat, new winch and lights and it will be fine till winter when I'll strip it down and get it shiny again. I got a 1/4 sheet of 3/4" white oak plywood for the transom. (Not cheap). Red mahogany stain and helmsman to finish it up. Other than the new seats I already have, pretty much all I have planned is some way to mount my anchor mates without cutting anything up or drilling any holes in it except maybe a few holes in the top rail which there is no way around. Then put some new lights on it and I'm ready to go. Would love to find an old bow light and been trolling fleebay for one. Just to try to keep it antiquee looking. Maybe some more progress soon!
