I posted this over in the conversion page but figured it draw more interest over here.
I bought this boat new in 2010 Its been a real good boat, we've done alot of fishing out of this rig, and with everything eventually you got to upgrade things. Last year I had to do some work under the floor and when I removed it, I knew right then after fishing season I was putting a new floor down so I broke down and started a few weeks ago. I've got it back together other than a few things but in the pictures you'll see the shots from when it was new to what it looked like when I started on the floor. The motor is very strong for this boat, I think its a perfect match, and its rated for even bigger, but this motor is all I could ask for and its plenty fast, does mid to upper 30's empty and low 30's loaded to the gill. I like the tunnel hull, I mean it does draft alittle more at Idle but at WOT, shes flat and will run in spit. The Pods i installed a few years ago really help with the draft and unlike alot of boats I know that installed them, it acually helped my MPG.
New.....

Got all my wiring back in, new steering cable, waiting on my new HID lights to come in. I also got some Durabak non-skid coming, should be in next week. I'm having some new side skirts made to cover the gaps on the sides of the floor/side area. I'll be glad to get her back together so we can go fishing.
