I bought this boat new the weekend before memorial day as a quick fix to a broken transom on my 14ft Randall Craft. It was supposed to be a cheap quick solution for a camping trip we took on memorial weekend. So I stripped down the old Randall took the seats out and the Briggs and Stratton 5hp and the MK transom mount TM.
Well that did'nt last long I went in search of more motor and found this 15hp Tohatsu for less than 500.00 all it needed was a tune up and carb rebuild. I didnt rebuild it I replaced it with a 18 carb brand new. I have a water pump repair kit coming it pumps good but I want to be sure of what I have so it will be replaced also.
Now I want a little nicer interior so the build begins. The first thing I did was order a MK bow mount trolling motor. Then purchased the navigation lights and a bilge pump. And picked up a set of Tempress high back seat in camo. The next thing I did was hooked it to my truck and struck out for Cartersville Ga. to see a nice young man by the name of Dawson. (thanks to trolling here and seeing he was a sponsor) at Fish On Fabrications. Here are some before pics and in about two weeks I should have the after pics.
