[QUOTE="Lowcountry Guy, post: 390982, member: 17018"] SHE'S DONE!!!!!!!!! OK, decals on (I really like the reproduction Ouachita decals, they look great), paint on, motor on, ready to rock and roll....took her out on the river yesterday and she ran like a CHAMP! She far exceeds my expectations and handles really well...though it was a very calm, glassy day. I will be installing a bilge pump, but that will come later with an LED light bar, etc. Right now, time to enjoy. The trailer looks rough, but it functions. New tires going on today. Trailer restoration will be my next project after duck season. All in all not too bad, though it took longer than expected due to a very busy work schedule. One thing is for sure, if I find another Ouachita jon boat, I'm going to buy it and fix it up to re-sell...I've got these things figured out and I'm very impressed by the build quality. If anything, they appear to be "over-built". [/QUOTE]
