New here to the forum - just picked up the craft below on Craigslist. The boat, a 7 horse Sears motor, and trailer for $170. Included was a box with amazing quantities of paint, stripper, two part epoxy, lights, wire wheels, etc. Poor guy was moving and had to get rid of it. He obviously had this planned out.
Said his wife bought him the boat as a birthday present. Should have asked if she had a sister, or at least a close cousin...
I was hoping that some one here could take a look and tell me what I am working with. The transom has no markings at all. The only thing resembling a model number you will see below on the bow.
I have already started framing in the fore deck. Not sure about where else I want to take this. One limitation seems that the boards that serve as seats must be mounted as prescribed, as they provide the structural integrity width-wise. (Found this out tightening the ratchet straps without them - no damage done.)
