[QUOTE="Makaw, post: 487188, member: 25180"] Alright friends, it’s finally time to share my build! TinBoats has been a HUGE resource over the past few years, even prior to me getting this boat. I’ll be steadily posting updates and pictures from the last year or two of work and mods. I’m probably not yet 50% done. My goal is to “restomod” (restore-modify) the boat and ensure she’s fit for many, many more years of faithful service. The name is an ode to my late grandfather, who’s favorite expression was “by golly.” Fun history of the boat: This was the first boat I fished out of in the early 90’s as a kid! It’s been in my family since the late 70’s, my grandparents having bought it after they built a cabin on a lake in Michigan’s upper peninsula. Until the cabin was sold in 2012, that’s where it lived its life. It was actually offered to me at that time, but I didn’t have the space for it, and so my aunt and uncle [thankfully] took possession and kept it in the family. In the fall of 2018, my aunt offered to give me the boat, free of charge, because they never used it. Thankfully my housing situation had changed (and my wife approved) - this time I obliged!!! The boat came home in September of 2019. Thanks for coming along for the ride! Driveway photos are from 2019 the day I brought her home. [/QUOTE]
