[QUOTE="Pweisbrod, post: 297934, member: 7714"] Picking this up Saturday: [img]https://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy262/StrongmanPaul/100_2672_zpsca398a15.jpg[/img] [img]https://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy262/StrongmanPaul/100_2668_zps428d5c41.jpg[/img] [img]https://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy262/StrongmanPaul/100_2671_zps19e11cc4.jpg[/img] 18' mr pike , 1984 I believe. The motor is roughly the same vintage but the owner isn't sure. The motor has a new water pump and impeller this last fall, and the guy will be taking it out of barn storage to sell it to me. Is there anything I should check or look at before buying? This is my first remote steer boat. Turning it into a big water duck hunting rig on a budget, any suggestions for decoy storage or hard sided blinds are welcome! My list for so far: 1. Remove giant casting deck in rear, make something way smaller for gas and battery storage 2. Remove carpet and possibly floor if flor is bad 3. Change paint scheme to something a little more duck "friendly" 4. Remove trolling motor 5. Lengthen trailer or get a different one 6. Add in lighting and storage on the cheap 7. Build the duck blind with a spot for the heater Anything you can think of let me know! Paul [/QUOTE]
