Hello again fellas. I am sure you don't remember, but about 3 months ago I posted on here about my 1236 flat bottom boat. I ended up selling it with new troller, batter, etc for about $500 to a guy locally. Two days later, two of the four lakes in our neighborhood busted levees due to flooding in TN (the same stuff that took out downtown Nashville.)
Yesterday, I got on Craigslist and found a guy giving away a free fibergalss boat and trailer. I called the number and he explained that it included a 75HP Evinrude. At first I was interested, after hearing about a 75HP motor for free, I was tickled pink.
Here are pictures. I plan to clean it all out this weekend. He made me haul off a few things for him since the boat was free (pallets, exhaust pipe, etc)
I guess I would like some advice on:
- Repainting a fiberglass boat like this one?
- Rebuilding, repairing the Evinrude?
- Putting a new prop on, someone stole the old prop
- ANy warnings, advice, etc.
I have never owned a boat with a motor, only trollers and small flat bottoms. So this is all new to me. Thanks in advance for the advice and maybe I can get it all done and slap a tinboats.net sticker on each side. :mrgreen:
