[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 156165, member: 166"] I'm considering picking up a boat near my house. Here is the ad: "86 Bass Tracker 75hp Merc. needs work - $1000 17 ft aluminum v-hull. This boat has had little use for its age. Needs TLC. Wood floors are in need of replacement, as well as the seats & carpet. 75hp Mercury engine has low hours, but hasn't been started in 4 years. Matching trailer with spare tire, trolling motor and depth finder included with boat. CASH ONLY" I could easily drive over and have a look. Here's some pics: [img]https://images.craigslist.org/3k13o33le5V65W05P4a8ad297d26504cf19b2.jpg[/img] [img]https://images.craigslist.org/3m43pb3o75O15U35S6a8acc63d305fdb81582.jpg[/img] [img]https://images.craigslist.org/3nb3p23ob5T55W05R3a8a5d3f4c8dd1911de7.jpg[/img] [img]https://images.craigslist.org/3ne3k13md5Y05Q55P1a8ab9c2b3bac64a1814.jpg[/img] This looks like it might be a good candidate for a winter time project. I'm thinking the biggest problems I'm going to be seeing are a lot of dry rot, but the basic hull, trailer frame and hopefully the motor should be sound. What do you guys think? What should I be looking for and what should I avoid? [/QUOTE]
