[QUOTE="1986Landau, post: 429463, member: 15457"] Okay so I definitely did not need another project but my son and I were boatless last summer and I wasn't about to go through that agony again. He's now 4 and my daughter is now 2 so we needed to make sure that we got a big enough boat that the whole family could go out on. This one is a 1987 Alumacraft Lunker v16 and we found it on Craigslist for $1,000 with the original trailer (at least the vin numbers match) it also came with a Minn Kota Endura 55# 12v trolling motor. Ended up getting it for $800 which I didn't think was 2 bad as it doesn't appear to be in to bad a shape. Got her home and immediately removed the pressure treated floor and steel hardware that the previous owner had installed. Getting her ready for a leak test, if she checks out it will be game on! The plan is to keep a very open main floor space in the center and rear with 3 or so seats on pedestals and a raised deck up front where the original bench was located. Going to try to keep it simple as I want to get her ready to go before it gets really nice out. Stay tuned, this could get interesting... [/QUOTE]
