[QUOTE="Boater, post: 110745, member: 2056"] Just wanted to introduce myself and my new old boat project. Here is a 1979 Mirrorcraft with a longshaft Spirit 16hp motor. I purchased the boat motor trailer and a trolling motor for $500.00 off craigs list. I was told that the motor was junk after geting it home I spent 1/2 hour working on it and had it running. First run on the water was good no leaks and good running motor. The boat has a 16" transom and the motor is a long shaft so the first project was to modify the transom or get a jackplate, I chose to make a jack plate using 3/16" alum 2"x2" angle and some recycled wood. I spent a total of $25.00 on this 1st project and 2 1/2 hours time, I have plans to redo the complete boat, build a flat floor, casting deck in the front, paint and electronics. This is going to be a recycle reuse project as much as possiable to keep cost down to show that a nice boat can be built on a tight budget. I will keep posting as the build continues. [/QUOTE]
