[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 107598, member: 863"] Well for once nothing fell thru and I was able to get the boat today. I think it could end up a nice rig. Cosmetically it needs some attention which I knew, but it seems really sound, and a good deal considering boat, trailer and (transom mounted) TM was $450 total. Here are a couple of pics I took this afternoon on my camera phone, I'll post more tomorrow after the maiden voyage. The boat looks better in person than in these pics. The trailer is configured a little weird and I'll want to change it eventually to have a traditional setup with front to back bunks, etc. It tows a little quirky and bouncy. I didn't realize how much paint was gone from the boat, especially on the inside, so that kind of helps me decide whether or not to strip it to bare metal. I dig the baitwell in the middle bench, it has a plug in the bottom of it and the lid latches really well. Based on that, I want to find a way to still have access to it after adding casting decks. OK I'm heading outside to start scraping some of that nasty glue and green "astroturf" :LOL2: [/QUOTE]
