[QUOTE="wcbond4, post: 255177, member: 8349"] Hey all. I've had this boat for a little over a year now. I got this boat for free along with two 35 HP Johnson Sea Horses. I have just recently started working on it. I have no idea what make or model it is...or even what the year model is! Maybe somebody can tell me? I think it might be a Lawrence? I've been enjoying this site tremendously and have learned a ton so far. Heres what it looked like before I touched it. [img]https://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac240/wescbond08/2012-01-28153856800x600.jpg[/img] Transom looks pretty rough! [img]https://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac240/wescbond08/2012-04-06122019800x600.jpg[/img] My initial goal was to make this a nice river boat. I live near the Little Red and it is excellent for trout! My dads got a bass boat that we use on the Greers Ferry Lake. Since I have been working on the boat, I have decided I want a shallow water rig that would be good for crappie and the river. So far my plans are as follows; Strip interior of old console, carpet, controls and anything dry-rotted or falling apart (which was practically everything!) 15 HP Evinrude with tiller handle Rework transom Refinish the exterior with U-Pol Raptor Extend front deck Section off live well for fish/bait Construct seat for top of live well Pole seats front and back Rod&Reel/gun box More storage under front deck Rear gas and battery compartments along with a small rear deck Mount bow trolling motor New carpet/possibly Raptor the inside too (haven't decided yet, what do you guys think?) Install bilge pump/live well aerator Refinish/rebuilt trailer Since those pictures I have sanded all the old decals off and replaced the transom board. I just took it today to the welding shop to have the transom put back together! I can't wait to get it back. I'll be posting pictures through out, hopefully regularly. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any suggestions that would make my project better/easier! [/QUOTE]
