I found this lil old stumpy in need of some serious love for $200 and I have been wanting something for skinny water for awhile so I brought it home and Jay and I went to work on it.
It had a lot of water damage to the furniture so we cut it all out and reconfigured it a bit. We installed platforms in the rear for poling/fishing from and moved the lid from the old fixed cooler we cut out to the live well and we built it an upright console so we can see the oyster bars before we hit it.
We found a nice 35hp evinrude to push it around.
She's a work in progress and is never gonna be a pretty young thing again but she will be functional again. :crip

Nice work! You'll get a lot of use out of that hole in the water!

Great job! I started repairing my dad's old boat last year but haven't had the time to finish it. Be sure to continue with the photos. We like LOTs of photos on here :>)

Between the inches and inches of rain we got a bit more done. Added two rod holder up front, and a seat. We've got to finish painting a little below the seat and the whole floor. The live well is great (never had one before). The boat has lot's of storage and room to move around. Tore down the starter and cleaned it, and the relay/ solenoid came today. Hopefully get it in the water before archery distracts us.
