I'd like to say hello to everyone, I'm an old new guy to Tin Boats. I've got two tin boats at present and I'm in the process of reworking a 1978 Alumacraft v-bottom 16ft. boat now. My other boat is a 2001 Bass Tracker Pro Crappie that I picked up last year. I fish for Bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish. I enjoy reading the posts here about restoration of other tin boats and I've picked up a lot of good information here. This is a great site. I look forward to sharing any information I may have that will help others.
