I brought home a free boat today, we'll there is really nothing "free" about any boat. It's a 1983 sylvan offshore 22. I got it from my local boat dealership. I was thinking outboard bracket, and make it a plane Jane pure fishing boat. Probably remove the top part and make open bow too.

Oh man you suck! Next thing you’ll tell us is that your wife will actually make you a sandwich! Lol. Great find, congrats. Look forward to seeing what becomes of it.

Lol, she does on occasion make a sandwich for me. She wanted to know why there was another boat in the driveway. I just couldn't resist.

Lotta boat there. It should clean up nicely. I saw a Lund almost that long on craigslist with tiller steering.
Gonna be even more boat, after I remove the cabin, move the helm forward, and maybe add a hardtop.

Maybe yoiu could just take the upper windshield off, move the helm to the lower w/s, then you would have the hardtop & a big casting deck in back.

Not exactly sure what I'll make it into yet. I fish lake erie mainly. Once I get it gutted, we'll see where the creative juices take me, lol. I won't do anything with it until I find an outboard for it. So, it will likely sit for awhile. I already have 2 boats, a 24' glass walk around, and a 18' starcraft supersport, so this will be a winter project.

Oh man, that would be one heck of an open fishing boat. What size outboard are you thinking? Whatever you decide, I look forward to following the transformation.

Edit: grammar (oops).

This boat has soooo much potential!
That's exactly why I brought it home. It's gonna get a new life soon.
