I'm going to let the tinboat.net members give the "Thumb Up" or "Thumb Down" on the potential of this hull being restored.
The history of this boat is flaky at best, but it is title and reg clear, came with a 1988 Envenrude 15 h.p. 2 stroke and a MinKota 65 trolling moter combined with a trailer (also a basketcase but very restorable).
The whole shabang sat in a backyard for about 10 years while all the cousins, grandkids and any other earthly beings had their way with it.
In its glory years, it served its previous owner well by being a fresh water and salt water fishing boat.
Time has dealt this poor hull a beating (see pictures), as far as I can tell the hull has a whitetish corrosion all over it, I demo'd the transom (dry-rot) and pulled the old splitery seats and removed the old detriorated foam.
The hull is pitted, has some holes (some look un-repairable), but it was once somebodies baby...
The recycler said he would give me $0.40 a pound to scrap it, I bought the whole shabang for $300
It is now a far cry from its Glory Days.
So Members..... UP or DOWN?
