Thank you ALL for you kind words and help on this forum. At first I wasn't sure how to go about all of this, but reading several of your experiences and challenges I've managed to get this far with it. Like I said I've got the back deck and bench to finish but was very pleased with the outcome...

Here are a few pictures of some improvements I've made so far on my boat/trailer. The trailer neck was bent when I bought my rig. It's fixed. Added a bilge drain and lights wired. Framed and carpeted the front. Storage Top view I found a 9.5hp evinrude (1972) for sale $200, painted...

I noticed you are using 1/2 inch ply? Is this only because you are glassing it or is 1/2" a common suitable way to go? The foam idea ROCKS! Thanks for the tip. Your boat looks very nice, thanks for sharing. I'm eager to see the outcome.

Thanks for the feedback....I waiting to see what the inside of the case looks like. Is there something else I can have checked before I commit? The seller said he started it up in his garage and it fired right up. Problem is he's almost 3 hours away and can't verify. The motor looks pretty...

Does the gear shift on this motor appear to be missing or broken? If so, how expensive is it to replace? I was considering buying this motor. Any guesses on the value?

Well....I've rewired my trailer today with a new set of submersible trailer taillights I found at northern tools. The wire, wiring harness and lights were $26.99. Luckly there is a store near by. Here's the link to them...

Hello All! By reading a lot of these project everyone has shared on here I've been inspired to have a go with this. I just bought this little 13' 1968 Sears v-hull, and was wondering what suggestion you guys and gals could give me on some adding a deck. I would like to remove the center bench...
