[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 209378, member: 4585"] I cannot believe that is the same boat! Amazing! When I was about 7 or 8 (1982) my Dad got an old (1960's) 1236 jon boat to use at our camp ground in western Ohio which was around an old rock quarry. It was beat up and leaked when we got it. but it was fine for use in the quarry as you could only use oars or a trolling motor. All the row boats, paddle boats, and canoes just got pulled up on the bank and turned over upside down when you were not there. Ours got picked up by a tornado in 1984 and was found a few miles away in a farmers field all bent and beat up. BUT NO WHERE NEAR AS BAD AS YOURS WAS IN THOSE FIRST PICS! I cant imagine what the last owner or owners did to that boatto get it in that shape! You are an amazing craftsman for sure. It looks great! Very nice work. I Couldn't believe how it turned out when I looked through your thread! [/QUOTE]
