Here's a thread necro but the world seemed to have other plans for my time and that poor boat sat unloved in a garage for a couple years. But after some life changes (buying houses, buying and wrecking new trucks, family drama, and medical issues, etc, etc) I've finally started to try and...

I'd be posting updates but every time I get a chance to work on the boat, the above happens. Frustrating... I would be getting things done this weekend but naturally it's supposed to storm again Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I'd also like to know where you snagged that livewell from. It'd be nice to have one like that in my boat. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Not sure what I was trying say as far as removing more decking to access the transom, because looking at it now, what I said makes no sense. I'll blame that on lack of sleep. I'm thinking that raising the front of the trailer and finding a friend and some lifting straps might be the way to go...

Still don't have the rear decking off to get a clear view of it but the parts I can see appear to be dry but cracked and old. I'll probably replace it regardless since I'm taking everything off. Still need to figure out how I'm taking the motor off and where I'm putting the motor while it's...

I'm going go see if I can find someone to fix it. Both fixing and fabricating a new one fall outside my skill bracket and I imagine it's cheaper to repair than replace. Managed to remove a few more rivets and super rusty screws, and a few more smalls panels in addition to breaking the rusty old...

Picked up the boat this week. Magnetic trailer lights fell off and shattered on what I thought was an insignificant bump on the exit into town. The fit in my garage is a little tighter than I thought it would be but I'll just have to pull the boat out a little when I work on it. Sent from...

Every thing appears to be in place to get the boat up here tomorrow. Just have to do a quick 2 hr round trip after work to go grab it. Got a quick question, I'm considering not painting the bottom of the boat. After cleaning the aluminum with an acid cleaner, do I need to perform any treatment...

Ordered a set of magnetic trailer lights. Thanks for the suggestion! Should be getting the boat this week. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I'm new to tinboats and just saw this thread, nice job so far. Grey gets my vote for carpet. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Ended up not towing the boat due to trailer lighting issues... again... So it'll probably be about a month before I can get down there and look at the trailer to try and figure what's going on Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Well here I go... (Storytime, skip this paragraph if you want) Years ago my dad purchased a used 1987 bass tracker. I think I was around 14 years old at the time. As we had previously been confined to fishing from shore, forced to watch those with boats come back with what felt like 10x as many...
