[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 198878, member: 4585"] Nice find! The motor is worth more than what you paid by itself. A few pieces of Aluminum angle welded to the cracked ribs and you will be in good shape. Because its one of the older riveted trackers boats and because of its age, you may want to go through and check all the rivets for tightness/looseness and replace any if needed. A good coat of Steel flex to seal things up may be a good idea too. 1542 is a nice size boat and you should have a lot of fun with this build. What are your plans? I am looking for a deal like that on a something in the 1648 or 1750 size range to make a center console jet rig out of. [/QUOTE]
