[QUOTE="DarynCashmark, post: 373818, member: 16165"] I got started on what was meant to be a simple cleanup and re-carpet project on a 1993 Bass Tracker Pro 17 with a 25 Hp. Evinrude. I purchased the boat from a friend last year. It wasn't horrible to begin with. It has never leaked a drop. Maybe because most of the rivets were covered with 15 to 20 years of scale and build-up. LOL. I really just started out just wanting to clean it up a bit, and improve a few things to make it more enjoyable to use the boat. Well the next thing I know it is stripped down way further than I thought. I never know when to quit. I got into the project and the "well as long as I have it all apart..." list grew out of control. Hopefully it will turn out well and I won't be sorry I started it... I have never done a boat restoration before, and I have found a lot of great ideas and advice here, so I thought I would post the progress for anybody that might be interested. I know it was very helpful for me to see other's project photos to help plan my own resto. Anyway, here are a few pics from before I started. Unfortunately I came up with the idea of posting on this forum after I started the tear-down, so I don't have as many before pics as I would like. Here are the few "before" pics that I do have.
