Hello everyone, i have been asking questions on here about my project for a bit and finally decided it was time to share my progress with the forum. This is my first boat and to be honest, i didnt have a clue up til this point. It has been a learning experience. The boat is a 1968 model but the registration did not have a Manf. I have done some searching and it looks like it could be an old K-Craft. So i will do with that lol.
I found the boat on Craigs List and gave $100 for the boat. Guy didnt know alot about it but said it was a fair shape with a few small leaks. We made the transaction and off the the house i went. Here it is....
Boat rails where bent up and and had alot of dents
The Transom was shot
The Bottom was cupped pretty bad and you can see one of the crappy angle aluminum patches they applied that failed.
More Pictures of the Cupped Bottom from the inside
More of the Cupped Bottom, and the Black Tar they used to patch holes. Failed as with the other patches.
