[QUOTE="Bigkat650, post: 232570, member: 7270"] Thanks! I was thinking perhaps those holes could have been where a fish finder was attached? Who knows, but I am not overly concerned--as like you said, I think it should be a simple fix. It does have several holes all around the hull, luckily the vast majority of those small holes are above the water line. As far as the trailer, it like the boat needs a little work too. The main problem I see is the axle appears to need some reinforcement. I haven't taken a real close look at it, but other then that--it seems to be in pretty good shape. Unfortunately I don't really know what to look at to really be able to tell what needs repairs and what does not. On the plus side, I am hoping for a welder this Christmas, and while I have zero experience welding, I am a quick learner with a steady hand, so hopefully I can get competent enough to make my repairs before the spring comes--as I am hoping to keep this project on a strict budget.
