She was found on the side of the road a few years back for 175 bucks with a trailer. She was redone once before hence the gray paint on the interior and the brown hull but with no modifications. I wish I had a picture from when she was pulled from her early grave. Up until a month ago she was bow covered. I plan on building a small console where the control box is located. I know most would not to save space and that makes sense but I find to much joy in driving her around. And i got a great vintage throttle/shift box that came with the motor that I would feel bad shelving (all for 85$ gotta love craigslist). She still needs a lot done including the front deck cover, all new paint on the topside where there won't be carpet, a small bow cover to mount a trolling motor and my anchor system, carpet, console, all the electrical work and probably just as much that I haven't thought of yet. All the framing members were coated with epoxy fiberglass and then the front deck was fiberglassed with cloth to the hull (not seen in pics)Then I will carpet the piece on top. And I Thompson water sealed all the plywood. Ideas are welcome. This is my first boat modification. I just had my first son in November so everything I am doing has to be relatively cheap. So you may see some previously enjoyed lumber in the pics. Dan
