I sold the motor last month. When I got the motor the pull cord was broken and I had no idea if it ran. He took some money off the package due to this. Had a guy come look at it, new cord and it fired right up. We were both pleased.
Got the transom in. Brace and plate. Did water test. Nothing I did leaked. Found 3 or 4 rivers around middle of boat I need to fix other than that she’s water ready. Going to super slick the bottom then paint the boat. I need to snip some bolts still.
Spent about 2 and half hours cleaning the inside of the boat out last week. Amazing how dirty it was and all the stuff stuck under the benches. I wonder if it’s been outside its whole life lol.
Been working on the transom. Glued together with screws. Doing two coats of fiberglass resin on all...
BACK STORY: 2022 was my first year waterfowl hunting. Fell in love pretty hard, decided I wanted my own boat so I can go (easier) whenever I want. Found this on facebook market place and decided I wanted it for the price. 1988 1648 Lowe with an Evinrude 30 hp tiller. I asked all the questions...
