I have started working on my little boat.
Started out with a brand new 1436 fisher brand new shore lander trailer and a brand newnissan 8hp motor. It was all and well for a month or so then I began to plan out some of the mods I wanted. Looking at all the great build on here gave me some inspiration.
This is a couple days after I brought it home. The only mod so far was the vertical trailer guides. I'll edit in better pics in the next couple of days.
The next thing I did was buy a used mariner 15hp just stumbled upon this motor for sale for $250 runs just as good as the brand new one. It just has a little rock rash is all. The new motor was sitting really low in the water and spraying thinside of the boat with water. That led me to raise the motor up about 3" with a 2x12 board. That helped a lot with the spray and put the cavitation plate even with the bottom of the boat. Also added tie off cleats as these boats don't have any from the factory.
This pic the sides are getting trimmed and fitted in to be welded.
This is with the sides all finish welded in. Need to wire in all the accessories still.
This is with the float pods welded on to the back of the boat.
That's where I'm at currently as of today. Allready bought everything to wire it all the lights are LED bow and stern as well as interior lighting. Just need to get busy and install them.
