My brother-n-law purchased this boat, motor, trailer combination for $800 and sold it to me last Christmas. We are in the process of gutting and rebuilding this summer.
The carpet and decking were in severely bad shape. After removing it, we found the factory flotation foam was also waterlogged so it got removed as well. Another issue with the boat is that it appears it was run aground once causing a minor hole and leak. The was patched by a previous owner but I don't think they took the time to repair correctly. We've now heated, reshaped, re-welded, and will be sealing the hole.
Lot's of decisions to make. I'd like to rebuild into a better fishing platform then was designed in the early 90s. We will be creating a new internal structure for ample storage, foaming, and re-decking.
