Not yet, once I pull the flooring and get deeper into the project, this may become the deciding factor to sell or keep going. If I get out early enough, I can still profitperchjerker said:are you sure that the flotation and transom, stringers etc are not waterlogged?
If the boat has been sitting around without a cover ( or a leaking one,looks like this one has been) it could be loaded with water and rot.

And I already love it and I haven't been on the water. I've owned many tins but this one is going to be my masterpiece. There is so much less stress with a tin. With fiberglass you have to worry about weight, repair, weight on the tires of the trailer. And with a 25hp in mind, speed. You could probably get 500 and that is enough to buy yourself something aluminum. Just my .02.

My bad fellas. The looks of it threw me for a loop. Still the size would turn me away. Maybe it's just where I'm from. Down here in AZ the lakes and rivers are all about 5 feet average depth.thatkidhugo said:perchjerker said:yeah is alum. made by Tracker
Pretty sure it's made by blue fin/brunswick
Tracker bought them out in the mid 90's I believe.
