Great idea, stand by your guns!

Typical seller trying to get the most money he can, logic says yes but when you have someone right in front of you with cash in their hand then you should also consider this "How would I feel if this was me on the other side getting a hassle" is it worth it, only you can make that decision? Good...

Looking for my next beater boat right now, thinking this winter will be perfect time to do the restoration in my garage / workshop. Having what is called a beater boat is terrific, here's to hoping this time when I locate one that I won't let someone talk me out of it after I restore her, funny...

I have one of these and owned it for about 50 years or so, it works terrific!

The Insurance Companies went to AI and people started getting denials for medical procedures due to the AI system, big law suit going on because of that crap. It's insane how we have allowed computers to drive every bit of our lives!

From the pictures you sent us it looks like you did a fantastic job with this project, congratulations and I know you are very proud of this boat. Go ahead pat yourself on the back, you done good brother!

That's about all I ever bought for a single boat!

So I think your adding plywood will be just fine, I've used it many times in the past; makes the plywood almost water proof if done correctly. I also epoxy coat my plywood on all sides with good quality epoxy. I'll add a site to view, these are the guys who taught me how to do epoxy coatings...

That's a very tough job working with the stringers and getting out the old foam, if it's not water logged (DRY) then I would forgo the pain and suffering (LOL) but it has been done many times before, you have just got to figure out the best method.. Good luck!

The last boat I pulled down (Completely) to rebuild have over 300 pounds of water within the foam, I was astounded by how much water was in that Tracker 16 footer and it still floated? Well I went with the blue board replacing all foam and you are correct getting the old out is a pain!

I agree

If it is closed cell foam then it will absorb less water than open cell foam but they all absorb water, just closed cell does not absorb like open cell foam. I would go with the Closed-cell polyurethane foam.

your pour in foam will be all wet, lol - they may say it won't absorb water but trust me after so many years in boats building most all of the poured foam will absorb water.

Thill, that is a huge bull red drum, brother, congratulations !

A really big (BULL RED DRUM)

Sounds like a manufacturing problem with either the motors or wiring (I think) the wiring would be my place to begin, smaller gauge wiring will overheat and burn, with the motor fully submerged in the water I would not think that the motor is overheating; working in manufacturing like I did for...

Amen, mine to and only after I have cleaned all of the fish, washed the boat and cleaned up everything, lol

Gilby, I think the paint job is 1st Class and looks terrific!

when I had a boat (in between boats right now) I fished about 50 / 50 between the two, I have to drive farther to get to 100% Salt Water but love fishing out of the Chesapeake Bay. Many of our rivers dump right into the Bay so we have brackish waters unless you are far-far away from the Bay; I...

I agree, to be 60 again, know what I know now would make a big difference, lol...
