i was just thinking dang....wouldnt it be nice if there was a site for people with tin boats to get together and share info and stories. just as i was about to make one, i found this place. :) so in new member fashion, i will show off my boat. Some of the pics are part way through the process, others are almost done. To make the build make a little more sense, first, i added the front piece for a seat post. when that was not enough after a while, then i added the rest of the front deck, then the rear deck. then this year (2 years later) i carpeted it and wired it up with lights and bilge and such. Let me have all your comments! I'm thick skinned so criticism is good to :)

if your talking about the one thats not on the boat i believe i looked up the serial to be right around that year, evinrude 18 horse. picked it up on craigslist for 200. price was right, but shes a bit too heavy for this little jon. works fine as long as i limit the people weight in the boat. thought about going for some lighter flooring, but i think i am going to get rid of it as is instead and get something a bit bigger. this ones a bit tippy.
 
If you can make it work, its a good little motor. where are you located? I might be interested should you decide to part with it.
