Is This A Good Beginner Rebuild?

I'm a little late to the party, but you should be glad that first boat got sold. That would have been a hard pass for me. Potential money pit.

I'll get some pictures added once I finally remember to take some.

What !!! A boat owner with no pics ?? Many boat owners have there boat pics in front of their kids pics !! Lol..

Yeah, seems odd but I never remember to take pictures of anything (even my kids). Just not a picture taker. I couldn't tell you how many good fish I've caught and thrown back, only after realizing I should have taken a picture.

Your 100% right.

Your 100% right.

At least you figured it out. I'm a bit of a dreamer too, but then I start crunching the numbers and come to my senses! Your best bet is always something that is 100% intact, not messed with, and kept indoors. With titles. Where I live it's possible to get a title for a boat without one, but not always.

Thanks for the reply. My timeline would be to get it on the water by next spring. I do not have a heated garage so winter would slow things down.

I hear ya trollingman, my garage isn’t heated either and I just got a 1979 14’er I want to mod. I’m thinking it will be a tad difficult with 2” thick mitts on
