Grandpas old 1958 Runabout turned Bass Tracker

Hello everyone. This project has taken me 3 years, and I finally have it on the water. Throughout the past few years I have learned a lot from all of you on your projects and questions I had answered by other members. Thank you all...I had a lot of help from my friends, invested quite a bit of time and money, but refurbishing this thing to keep in our family is priceless. I hope you guys like what you see. Don't mind all the pics being out of order. User error on my part.

Here are some more from the project.

First Bass caught on the boat in Ca Delta. First trout in the Sierras, and all around good time for my family and friends.

Great job, I really like the tubular gunnels. Pretty bad *** rig!

I forgot this one.

Awesome project, you should be proud, what a transformation. :beer:

Thanks Jim. I really appreciate it. And I am very proud. I do construction for a living but building boats is another story. Turned out better than I ever thought it would.

Thank you. Did a lot of research into getting that part done. Originally it had wood, but over the years it rotted and my grandfather put PVC on there but the boat was extremely flimsy.

Awesome rebuild project turned into a fishing machine.
Grandpa would be proud. =D>
Thanks for sharing.

Nice job, well done.

Now, that turned out nice! And, ye fetched home some fish!

I am was wondering about your council if you made it or bought it some where if it was home made do you have any pic s of construction

I apologize for the extremely late responses. It's been a busy family life with new baby and working on changing careers.

As for the console I bought it pre-made. Here is a link to a website that sells them.
