[QUOTE="amk, post: 394083, member: 13232"] I picked up this 1974 polar craft 14' long 51" wide with a 96 mclain trailer came with spare tire and two nice anchors for $300. I have a couple of jet jons but I needed a boat to put my 20 hp outboard tiller on and one wide enough two people maybe three could gig flounder from comfortably. This boat so far seems to be a good candidate. I have 5 150 watt HPS lights I plan on rigging to the front for the lights. I ordered some slick bottom to coat the bottom so it will slide through the mud I hope the ribs on the bottom wont negate the slick coat. I'm going to start today peeling paint and sanding it down. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good painting technique for the rest of the boat. I plan on sanding the whole thing and re painting any primer recommendations? [/QUOTE]
