Hello to all.
My name is Bill. This is our first boat. We have been enjoying it almost every weekend since we bought it two months ago. It is a 1965 Arkansas v-hull that came with a 1989 Evinrude 15hp tiller. Since we purchased it, I have replaced the wood on the benches, added seats, a humminbird 565 fish finder, new fuel line, 25 lb trolling motor, tuned up the engine, replaced the lower end oil, and put a fresh coat of evinrude navy blue on the engine. I also replaced the lights and rewired the trailer, and installed new bunks.
future plans include power tilt and trim, paint, electric start, lighting, decking, and carpet. Maybe even a console with wheel and controls.
I am thinking of a build similar to this one. https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=15880
Here are some pictures of it the day I picked it up.
And some of it now
