[QUOTE="Jinxd12, post: 506110, member: 25542"] Got the itch to get back on the big lakes again, and actually throw the baits I build in big water. I scooped up this 1984 Mirrorcraft Northport Troller 14' with a trailer, and a non running Mercury 25XD. Had to convince the wife it was a good idea and I could do it in 2 weekends...and go from there?! Boat hasn't been registered since 2004, and been sitting outside I'm assuming since then. Started as an Illinois boat but now in Az. Here it is in all its glory the day I got it. Had it disassembled in a few hours and 99% clean. It was brutal with it still being 110° that week. The foam was in the bow, and along the sides. There was no water logged foam, and it was still 99% solid as a rock. Anything that I could poke that would flake off I removed but there wasn't much, so I left it all intact. [/QUOTE]
