Hi everyone. I have been a long time lurker and have enjoyed the threads and projects! About 4 years ago, my family got a river lot. Since than I have been wanting to find a cheap but decent jon boat to go out and just enjoy being on the water in and to do some light fishing. I don't have a whole lot to spend and my search for a decent boat I could afford has yeilded slim to no results.
Until today...
My Brother-In-Law is giving me his boat. He put new boards and seats in it a few years ago and has not had it in the water since. Since I have the river lot, he said I can have it.
Now, I have never seen it and won't have it in my possession until next week. Does anyone know what kind of boat it is... maker.. model? I believe it is a 12' fiberglass over aluminum frame...
Since I am getting it for free, I am planning on fixing it up a little. Motor of coarse, just need to figure out what size the transom can handle...
I know this isn't a "tin boat" but if its okay with you all, I would like to share this story and adventure with you and maybe get some advice for it along the way.
I have searched google images and for the life of me, cannot find anything like this to try and figure out what exactly this boat is so if anyone knows, or has any info, that would be great!
