Hi there everyone. I've been lurking around here for awhile now, but its finally time to get my own thread going. I started this build last year and have been slowly stripping off the old paint over the winter. Now that spring is here, its time to get back to work.
The boat was originally a "runabout" I think. The person that had it before me installed a wooden deck and must've converted her to a tiller style boat. Well I want to change her back, but not into a runabout more of a Lund style boat. I have already purchased a 40hp mercury that will be perfect for this boat. I'm pretty committed to doing this the right way, and I realize it won't be the most economical (I've been saving up for this). I am going to take my time. Here is what I have done already:
1. Removed old decking
2. Removed old paint
3. Painted inside hull with white Rustoleum topside paint
4. Turned boat over and stripped the outside
I am learning a lot doing this boat, I don't come from much experience when it come to building stuff. I'm just a college kid, so any help I can get will be GREATLY appreciated. Here are some pics.
