[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 381172, member: 1523"] So, my son was given this little gem as payment for helping to set out some non paying tenants last month. Took a couple weeks for the title to be forthcoming but now that it's here I figured I'd start a little build thread before 'flipping' this little guy to some lucky boater. Flipper apears to be a early '70's flat bottom jon boat that miraculously doesn't leak a drop. It does have some cracks in the transom that needs some love and as seen in the pics it has several layers of peeling paint that needs dealt with before it gets some color repainted. It came with a pair of nice clamp on blue seats and stunk terribly like cat pee. The trailer is for a larger boat, had two flat dry rotten tires and has a title coming (once it's found). Tossed the boat next to the trailer on the bed of my truck and brought them home. Both were surprisingly light. Once home my neighbor down the alley donated some left over rims and tires from when he upgraded his rolling stock on his boat trailer.
