[QUOTE="Ictalurus, post: 300583, member: 2983"] Looks like you got yourself a project there! Get rid of the motor, probably not worth putting money into. Clean out the boat and fill it with water, check for major cracks along welds and seems. Minor leaks from rivets aren't that big of deal. If it's not too bad, fix the small leaks, replace the wooden benches, and paint it if you want. The trailer shouldn't be too rough, i think you can get whole axles at northern tool for under $100. Slap a nice TM trolling motor on there for now and keep your eye out for a decent outboard and catch some fish. Good luck in your build. [/QUOTE]
