Polar Kraft 1651...Old Shock Boat

[duckweed]

This is a old shock boat that was used to check fish populations by biologist. I purchased the boat this past winter after it had been sitting up for about 10 years. So far I have gutted it, applied steelflex to the bottom and painted it, floored it in 0.125 aluminum, and I added a trolling motor. I am going to try and attach some pictures to show the process. The boat has a 1991 40hp mercury, it took me redoing the carbs 3 times but it is running very good at the moment.
This is a lot of pictures but it kind of shows the process from start to where I'm currently at.

Looks good.
You did the trailer too?

I did redo the trailer too. I replaced the tires, the wench, and the bearings. Removed the rust with a wire wheel, then primed and painted it. I also replaced the bunks and added all new ss hardware.
