I had a house fire in January that destroyed my old jon boat, a Generation III 1236 that I had modified. My homeowners insurance would only cover $1,000 so I looked around until I found a boat in that price range. I came up with this 1448 Crestliner. It has a trailer, a 1970 20 hp Johnson outboard, 36 lb thrust motor guide TM and a Humminbird 200DX fish Finder.
The Good:
Hull has no leaks and is in very good condition
TM works
FF works
trailer in good condition.
The bad:
All wood needs to be replaced
Needs to be completely rewired
Motor Hasn't run in 3 yrs & covered in dirt daubers and cobwebs
Trailer has rust & will need to be cleaned up and painted
The Boat
The trailer
The motor
Dirt daubers & cobwebs
The first thing I did was take everything off theBoat to get ready for the mod
Needs to be cleaned up. This trash was under the old floor.
The motor on the stand I built. Probably over built.
Planning to deck across the front seat to the bow,replace the flooring, rewire & put a bigger TM on the bow and a TM on the stern for the electric only lakes I fish.
I will update with more pics as I go along.
