[QUOTE="Sayre32, post: 174491, member: 4342"] I finally started the rebuilding process on my polarkraft. I am hoping the process goes fairly quick, but we will see. Had the boat out on the water today and everything did great. The motor sounds awesome. Just got completely rebuilt so I can't really open it up too much. I got the boat all cleaned out and some things done today. Paint is in the near future. Sanding starts tomorrow. Process: Paint (red with white stripe and white on top lip) Front and back deck (aluminum framing, 3/4" plywood decks) Make center console a side console Livewell under back deck (not sure whether I will go with a cooler or custom built) Minnkota 80 lb thrust up front with Minnkota 3 bank charger Current cost: Boat/motor/trailer = $1000 (after complete motor rebuild) Trolling motor 80 lb thrust = $250 (couple years old but never used) hardware = $50 Aluminum = $200 (100ft of tubing) Seats = $100 (2 seats for bench and 2 butt seats) On board Charger = $180 ( 3 bank) All paint / urethane / supplies = $100 + misc. supplies I am right at $2000 right now hopefully will come in right around $3000 I am keeping a running total spreadsheet that I will share when finished.
