[QUOTE="Axhammer, post: 500396, member: 16767"] When I started this thread, in the title I mention this is my “first tin boat project”. I guess I misspoke…in 1987 I bought a Aluma-Craft run-about, but I don’t remember what year the boat was. I only have one picture of it from the day I bought it. This picture is at my buddies house where I took the boat to show him. He had the same engine on his bigger wooden fishing boat, with a kicker on his. This was in Port Angeles WA. It was a Great Lake Boat for water skiing, which I did every summer on Lake Sutherland. When I transferred in 1990, I sold it to another buddy. I repainted the hull, my buddy reupholstered the back to back seating for me. With new upholstery and carpet the interior was pretty nice. I polished the plastic windscreen which turned out pretty nice. I had the trailer sand blasted, and repainted it with new lights. In the end I had a great low budget ski boat, with a 1969 Evinrude 55 three cylinder that would pull me up on one ski. I would guess the boat was a late sixties or early seventies model year. To put it in perspective it was 1987, and that boat was about twenty years old. [/QUOTE]
