[QUOTE="great white, post: 224221, member: 6238"] Been on a parts buying "spree" the last couple days. Bow mount removable led light-$34 Stern 24" removable 18 led light-$45 Insulated Battery clamps-$7 Small 200 gph bilge pump-$8 large 2000 GPH bilge-$25 (emergency use if I hole the hull) Through Hull bilge connector-$4 Rod holders x2-$20 Cup holders x3-$5 Impeller-$15 Anode-$7 Solar charger-$20 6 switch & cb panel-$25 Axle-$75 Misc bolts-$15 Spare tire holder-$15 Trailer light kit-$29 Truck multiplug (7 blade and 4/5 flat)-$39 The springs, hubs tires rims, etc are being scavenged off a utility trailer we're not going to keep to give the boat trailer life. The utility trailer is only 4 years old so it's all pretty much new parts (no use for a 4x6 utility trailer anymore). All the rest of the boat stuff, right down to the vests/rods/tackle/hummingbird/coolers/anchor/swivel seats/oars/heaving lines/etc are already with the boat at the cottage. Some aluminum bracing, marine plywood, carpet, battery and wiring and she'll be ready to go for the next season. So that's, what? 3-500 bucks out the door for a complete, sturdy, capable little 8 hp tinny that I've known so well for the last 15 years or so and is good for everything from onshore (been there with this old semi-v many times) to a foot or less of water? I'll take that all day any day! :) Pics to come as I build it... [/QUOTE]
