Ok, So I am one of those guests that have been lurking around for some time now. Checking out all the cool mods you folks have been doing. I have a 14ft. Alumacraft Jon boat with a 5hp mariner and have been thinking of putting decks and whatnot into it. But it is just to small for all that. So Since I found this SWEET site. I have decided to buy a little bigger boat and start a restoration and a few mods to it. Last night I purchased this 1968 Richline 16ft. V-Hull. It has a 1978 Johnson 25hp motor, it also came with a decent tilt trailer but all and all the thing is pritty ruff. I paid $900 for the entire package. So last night when I got it home, first thing I did was use a cherry picker to pull the motor off and then started the disassembley of the boats two bench seats and all the little bolts and extra hardware that has been added over the past 42 yrs, including removing the transom. I intend on this weekend taking the hull down to bare aluminum by sand blasting all the paint off. I will throw in some pics so yall can see. I love PICS>
