Last summer I was given a boat for free by my friend because he couldn’t get the old Johnson QD-16 to run. First thing I did was to take it to the paddle lake to see if she floats.
Well it floats and no leaks... I rowed it all over with great difficulty. Come to find out all the foam was waterlogged.
Here she sets gutted out to a bare hull waiting for surgery
And here is where I was at with the build at the end of last summer.
This summer I spent fishing her, sorry no pics of it in the water. I realized I needed to add more storage, reduce weight, and reposition weight to get the boat to sit back to level in the water.
But before work begins again on the boat I need to address the trailer... it’s about to die of cancer... it’s currently on life support the cancer is so bad.
