2709, Boat progress
Posted by Ken A, Fri Aug-06-04 05:13 AM
This is a timely time to add a boat board since I'm right in the middle of modifying a jon boat! Since my boat was VERY "used" I've spent more than a month getting the hull sound and ready to modify, I guess that's the problem with buying a boat for $350. I had to rebuild the transom area and there was some minor leaking around some rivits that I reseated(learning alot about aluminum boat repair)

Some of the delay is how many hours I spend each week, after woorking 9-12 hours it's hard to work on the boat during the week(that is if I want to continue to be married ;-) ) I plan on starting to build the decks this weekend. I'll take pictures of my progress if anyone is interested!

I'm still keeping an eye out for a used trailer ($200-$300) and I'd like to put a 15HP outboard on it if someone has one for sale...working or not!
