I have been looking around this site for quite a while now enjoying looking at every ones modifications as I waited for a jon boat for me to pick up. Well I finally found one today and picked it up for 80$ tonight! It is a 10ft Ouachita and I am not sure of the year since the serial number is not legible. The paint on it is faded and has rubbed off in places as well. I wasn't able to get a very good leak test done as it got to dark before i was able to get it home. I am very excited to get this project underway as I have been looking for to doing this for a while!
- Things To Do
1) Leak Test / Repair any leaks.
2) Replace transom - it is currently 1/2 plywood, should i use thicker?
3) It needs to be repainted - but i can hold off on this
4) make some sort of storage in the front - possibly a small deck (i will figure this out once i test standing on the bench while its on the water)
5) floor the bottom or rhinoline it.. something to make it less noisy if i were to drop something - also to help protect the floor
6) navigation lights
7) get it registered
Current pictures aren't so good, i took them at night on my phone
Here is what i am starting with:
