[QUOTE="Ryno685, post: 303830, member: 11065"] Hello all...... I am new to the forum and love everything about it. Tons of great information! Very talented group of folks. This is my first boat and first restore/mod, so please feel free to jump in! :) I bought this boat about a year and a half, maybe two years ago, with plans to turn it into a bass/bowfishing rig. Knew it was gonna be a ton of work, but I love to tinker, so it was worth it. So here is a little about the boat. Boat is an 18x52 riveted Polarkaraft mid 60's model, motor is a 35 horse evinrude, '83 i believe. Didn't think it was too bad of deal for $750. Only thing I didn't like was hauling it home in the pouring down rain without one light on the trailer working. Needless to say that was the first thing I fixed. Anyhow, this is what she looked like when I first got her home. The previous owner said the damge on the front was from running up under a log on the mississippi, but it looks more like he ran it onto the trailer too hard......I dunno...got it fixed though.
