I can pretty much only hunt on the weekends so I decided to cleanup and add some new features to the boat we've never had the time to pay attention to. Hopefully this will occupy my mind on those long weekdays after school when I wish I was in the stand. I know the trolling motor works but have yet to see if the 40HP Tracker Outboard is running. I think it may need a little work. We'll see. I ordered some Oxilic acid to clean the hull and get rid of any stains, dirt. etc. I plan on adding new marine carpet eventually as well as selling and replacing the motor. Any ideas of things to do would be cool to hear. I think I'll have fun with this.
Add a platform and lights to the front for a bow fishing rig. Make it out of aluminum and remove able.
I redid one like that an 11' Boston whaler. It was actually kinda fun to do I redid the fiberglass, repainted, redid the wood. I'm actually looking for another whaler to do. I bought the 11 footer for $500 and sold it for $2500. I spent around $350 for the supplies to fix it up. This one looks just like a whaler I bet you could re do it and sell for a huge profit.
Do you have any C4? I think that would take care of it. LOL Looks like that bad boy was terribly neglected. A little tender loving care and she'll do fine. Are the pedistal seats salvagable?
Oh I know! I thought of blowing it up at one point.....yea the seats are in great condition actually. I'll post a picture later.
That's another thing I'm going to do, repaint it. I also think it would be cool to change out the console and make it a center console.... We'll see.....just gong to do things as I go along.
once had a project like this made the front platform out of particle board, then one day someone stole my swivel seat right, shortly after my tantrum went away i fell threw the particle board and it revamped my fit followed by me selling the whole boat. OHHHHH to be 17 again haha
yea just stick with aluminum if you make the platform haha it was like a 67 creastliner, ol' girl gave me 2nd place in a bass fishing contest agains folks with tritons, skeeters and nitros haha they were all like
Hahahaha I plan on entering some tournaments once I get this thing going. Kinda picked the wrong time to clean her up though. By the time she's completely done they'll be sheets of ice on the river. It's nice living on a river though.....reservoir....whatever.
yea but itll be ready for next year, i fished the bass masters weekend series on lake champlain and a few other lakes in new york its a blast alot of work tho, takes some serious camping, and a little beer and time outside with the family. lol real tough work! ha
Looks like a good base for a project. Makes me want to work on my Crestliner. It's got put on the back burner for the Jeep... Which has been put on the back burner for my Colrado Elk Trip next fall
