[QUOTE="RicksRodNReel, post: 385066, member: 18405"] Hi Guys, New member here in Minneapolis, MN. Just picked up my first fishing boat. It's a 1977 Sylvan 16 foot with a 1972 Mercury 500 50hp It was pretty rough to begin with but had a good shell and everything to make it seaworthy eventually. So far I have gutted the interior and laid down a new floor. I have put down the first layer of carpet. In the process of building up the front for a casting deck. I removed the old rotted out transom and have been fortunate to receive a solid piece of 1 1/2" white oak from the shop teacher at the school I work at. I've been working hard at it in my spare time. Hopefully I will have it ready for Memorial weekend.... Will post progress as I make it. Thanks [/QUOTE]
