[QUOTE="amateurhour, post: 310700, member: 9425"] Updates! So I'm ALMOST done getting this beast down to bare metal. This is the culmination of over 20 solid hours with the angle grinder and drill [img]https://www.pinkpineappleink.com/images/boat/during/041513almostdone.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.pinkpineappleink.com/images/boat/during/041513almostdone2.jpg[/img] This is all that's left, and I should have that wrapped up today. [img]https://www.pinkpineappleink.com/images/boat/during/041513whatsleft.jpg[/img] Also, I scored a new 30lb trolling motor at a yard sale (took it over to west marine and tried it out on a battery and it runs PERFECTLY!. I gave a $25 lowes gift card for it and it looks maybe 1-2 years old if that. [img]https://www.pinkpineappleink.com/images/boat/during/041513trolling.jpg[/img] THEN, I traded my 5hp Briggs outboard which I wasn't even sure if it ran or what it would need. (it had spark and compression though, I knew that much) on craigslist for a 3 hp gamefisher air cooled outboard which runs like a champ, so I now have a running motor and a trolling motor! [img]https://www.pinkpineappleink.com/images/boat/during/041513gamefisher.jpg[/img] Here's my two new babies side by side [img]https://www.pinkpineappleink.com/images/boat/during/041513motors.jpg[/img] So to recap... ... I gave a $200 bass pro gift card for the boat, motor and trailer. I gave a $25 lowes gift card for the trolling motor I traded the non running 5hp for a running 3hp outboard Also I cleaned up those bass fold down seats and they're still in pristine condition under the gunk, no cracks or wear, and both the bases are in great shape too. I've got a total of $40 in this boat so far of my own money. : ) Next comes new benches and then it's time to tackle that trailer. [/QUOTE]
