Bought this boat last fall for $500 and its been a great boat so far. When i bought it the back of the boat was basically rotten. So Went to menards and rebuilt the back part and put some new carpet in it. Over the winter since i dont have a garage i have been taking advantage of every warm day i get so far and redoing the whole boat and extending the front deck back to the drivers console with more storage compartents. When i purchased the boat everything worked but the Aerator pump but over the winter i took it out and got it working had some stuff jamming the impeller. Its came with a All Terrain 65lbs thrust front mount trolling motor and a 40hp mariner that looks new on the inside not even a speck of dirt. Im getting rid of the Mercury Auto Blend unit and going to Pre-mix anyone had any problems with them? figured i just mix at 50:1 since i didnt wanna risk loosing a good motor since i hear that the auto blend units sometime fail. Here are some pics so far and i will update again when i get a little further on the project. Thanks to a fishing buddy who is and airplane mechanic i got some free aluminum to for the front storage compartments from a wrecked plane. Getting ready hopefully next week to get the new floor in and start to put some new carpet down.
