I'm a Grommet here. This is the boat that drew me in to the Forum. Found it up in Montana. I haven't been able to find out what it is.

[QUOTE="LightMetal, post: 493856, member: 32308"] Great idea re: TIG welder. Put in some structure to revise the seat attachments, put in a real deck. This thing is really a tin cup. The 'deck' is an old greasy plywood sheet almost right on the hull. Pretty light aluminum. I really think the whole thing (without motor) is about 5-600 lbs. It skitters across the waves. I've only had it out 3 times, and on quiet days. I don't think I'd take it more than 4-5 miles offshore (boat USA will still rescue me there) :) . I put foam under the rear seat and under the deck, but it's a temporary hack job. I need to come up with an end goal for the layout and appearance.
