at the moment i have a small 9.6 but i am looking for a 20 or bigger hp .. i am looking at a 76 mercury for it . after i start the project i will need more hp for the extra weight and i am to beleive the boat is rated for a max of 30.

looks like a great project for your son and you. Are you decking it? what are the plans?

 

[xtremebass]

the plans are to deck it and put in some rod storage and get a custom cover for it, livewell possibly if the funds are there. re-doing the trailer so it looks nicer. also putting in a floor .

well just so everyone knows it snowed up here in alberta canada today, i am going to bring in the boat for some unthawing and get to the removal of the paint. i am ordering my steelflex here soon so when i get that i will post some pics of the progress and i will post pics of teh progress of teh paint removal as i got along.

i also plan on stripping and paiting my trailer . i am hoping that my boss will let me use the shop to do the mod in since i live in anm appartment building and have no garage. well heres to a great hard season. :!: :!:

Well everyone I have decided to refinish the trailer for the boat first, since it is minus 25 up here . I am still doing the boat just need to get the trailer done first so I can move the boat around easier since I am doing it at work. It's really hard to move the 14 foot boat by myself , on the trailer would be much easier and would stand a little higher off the ground . I will post some pics of the great white snow we hav here , and oh yah the trailer too.
