1980 Grumman 4.6 Sportsman all aluminum build

I hauled the Grumman over to a farm pond and did a shakedown fishing trip.

The 55# v2 moves this boat around amazing. The remote control is definitely worth the extra $$.

My buddy Matt flew in from Colorado to help test out the new boat. Here's the 1st crappie of the day.

Thanks fellas! I'm about to get back cracking on this Grumman project. I've got the list of odds and ends to finish up.

1. Aluminum Rod locker for the starboard side of the boat.
2. Hinges and finger pulls for several storage compartments.
3. Tube work and windscreen for side console.
4. Custom homemade bimini top.
5. Coat the interior of the boat with non-slip coating. I decided to not use the nautaulex on this boat.
6. Rid the boat of yellow paint.
7. homemade guide ons for the trailer.

I recently sold my little Crestliner with my endura 40 so I purchased a new endura 50 for the rear of the grumman to go with the 55 v2 on the front.
