[QUOTE="jdret, post: 162440, member: 4110"] I haven't had it in the water yet, Buford. My buddy said it didn't leak, but I'll be checking it all the same. I haven't put a measure to the boat other than the length. Not sure what type of coating or paint that the previous owner applied...I do know it hasn't touched water since it was applied. I have a Johnson 9.5 that came with the other jon boat, but I'm toying with an idea of a stick steer transom mounted electric setup for main propulsion as most of the county lakes I fish are either "no wake" or electric only. Benji, it is pretty much blemish free. A couple of minor dents that I'm not sure I'll even address after I strip the paint off it. Only thing I know I'll be doing for sure is stripping, removing the benches, installing a lower deck/pedestal seat setup, wiring, and painting it in a scheme similar to the boats shown in the link in my original post. Oh yeah, the transom wood needs replacing as they usually do. I will say that this site doesn't leave a whole lot to the imagination....appears about everything has been tried and provin'...so I doubt I'll do anything that will come as a surprise to anyone.
