You've got a good plan together for sure. Don't forget to take plenty of pictures and post them so those of us who are finished with our mods can still look at some good boat porn.

I don't know if you could find big enough/strong enough ones. But pop rivets would do the trick. But most are so small they wouldn't even begin to work.

Well short of getting some numbers for the registration, The Green Machine is all finished. We got the trolling motor mounted. Its a 30 lb/thrust endura, I bought a bracket on ebay that we had to modify a bit to get it to work but I think it'll work alright. We used PVC piping to shim...

Yep, for that price i'd pick it up if I wasn't already into one build.

https://lexington.craigslist.org/boa/3805547134.html I saw this on craigslist, already gutted and ready to build. Not a bad price either for a big tin boat.

Well I got some more work done on the boat. Been awhile since an update, this rain has been putting a damper on me. Put new rims and tires on the boat, but saved the good rim and tire as a spare. I also got the trailer sanded down a bit and gave it a new coat of rustoleum high gloss. It...

Looking good man, what do you plan on using it for? Running on the Ohio or you plan on heading down to Cumberland and troll for some stripers?

Looking very good!!! With the throttle control, do you have to work the tilt/trim with your pinky? Is there any way of turning that around? Kinda looks goofy, but I've never driven a cc boat and didn't know if that how it is normally.

no good on the lost debit card, hopefully the bank was good to you on fighting the charges. Have you gotten the boat back from the marina with the motor on it yet?

Looks good, I like that gloss white, I went with Rustoleum on my boat, for a good cheap paint you can't beat it.

Have fun with that, are you planning on stripping down to bare metal or just scuffing it up and painting over it. If I had it to do over again I would have just hit it with the wire wheel to knock the crud and loose paint off and then primed and painted over that. It would have saved me an...

That's a great deal man, did that include the trailer as well? You've already got me thinking to fix my boat up to sell and start all over again lol

That's really not that bad, I looked at a G3 with a center console and a 25 hp and it was 13 grand. I want to watch what you modify this boat for ideas. I'd say it will come out a lot cheaper this way. Did you get the CC from weldbilt or was that extra?

JEALOUS!!! that is my dream boat. If you don't mind me asking, what did that boat run you? I am hoping to eventually upgrade to a 1756 and have been looking at weldbilts, they seem like they are a very well designed and built boat.

Hey man nice boat, if you take your time and re-do it right that'll be a sweet one. Also congrats on the Championship win last night...it hurts me to say that (I'm from Lexington and Bleed Blue) but at least the trophy stayed in state. Keep us posted with pics on the re-build.
