I just purchased a 1436 with a 1972 Johnson 25hp outboard.
My son and I got this home. We got the boat off of the trailer, I read many posts here and decided that I needed to correct some of the redneck engineering that happened to this boat.
The photo below shows a sample of what I was dealing with. I got so excited about things I really only took the after photos. I removed two rows of roller bunks and replaced with 3 flat wood bunks. I replaced a bow stop meant for a V-hull that was damaging the front of the flat bottom with a better bow stop. Many ugly welds were cut and re-done including removing the hitch seen below. The trailer now looks great. I hope to have the boat on the water this week to test it then determine boat mods (floor, front deck, seta storage, rod storage, etc.)
