I want to say hello to all of you. I have two tin boats, a 1978 Alumacraft v-bottom, 16ft. and a 2001 Bass Tracker Pro Crappie 175. I fish for Bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish. I've owned several john boats and rebuilt a couple and I'm in the process of reworking the Alumacraft now. I enjoy reading and viewing the posts here about the boats that are being reworked. They help a lot in planning for and making for easier rebuilds. Thanks for your pics and tips.
