To start things off, you can read my thread https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&p=88285#p88285 to find out how this project got started. Long story short, I ended up with a 1432 instead of a 1436.
So my plans of a big deck and creative storage will have to wait a few years, until I can get my hands on some money, and a bigger boat.
I do have some plans for this boat though, starting with stripping it down, painting it, building low decks with carpeting, some good seating, and whatever kind of storage I can come up with.
I'll attach the original Craigslist pictures, and update it as I go. Being May already, I'll be busting my rear end to get this done so I can do some fishing, so any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. If you happen to come up with some good storage ideas or anything else, pass them along!
This will be a huge learning experience and an even bigger money pit (especially for a college kid), but I'm confident it will turn out great.
As you'll see from the original pictures, and as you'll see from the final pictures in the future, this will be a huge transformation. This boat really needs some work, but its going to look awesome. Thats why I'm naming this Operation Polished Turd, and the name will be passed onto the boat upon completion.
Thanks for looking!
