What year is your boat? I have a 1971 Sea king 1436 with a '83 25HP Mariner that's all set up for duck hunting.

It is a 1974 I believe. That was the sticker that was on the boat under all the others stacked on top.

I got super lucky on the price for sure.

I got some paint done today and missed out on taking pictures because I was out kayaking. 8) I will have some pics posted tomorrow of the progress hopefully. I am waiting on just a few more pieces and she will be a beauty.

Alright I got a lot accomplished today. Mainly because most of my parts came in but I had some free time as well. Took some pics of the parts I got and the painted boat but will have more posted tonight.

Alright I got my seats carpeted and seat base plates mounted. I used spray carpet adhesive and stainless steel staples on all my carpet projects. Sorry for not having in action shots. Kinda hard to do when you are by yourself. :roll:

Hopefully I can get some wiring done tomorrow. [-o<
