even as a non-boat owner...it's been fun to watch the timeline of taking this boat apart, fixing it up and putting it back together again.

Thanks for sharing. I hope it gives you many productive days!

I'm sure you guys know more than I do about this but I'd be looking at fuel and electrical components - the little things that can leave you stranded. I had a project boat back in '84 and the second trip out the motor stalled.....trash in the fule tank. Then an issue where I'd get a shock from the binnacle control.....short.

Great pics and thanks agina for the update. There's a lot of great boats out there that need a home.....some just need a little TLC

This boat looks so good. All I can say is WOW. Now you just need to put some fish on it, but I have a feeling that won't be a problem.
