Due to my recent unemployment I had to sell my Crawdad this week. Going without a boat is not an option, so I grabbed my Great Grandpa's '59 Ash Craft 13-36 from my Dads house. It had 10 years of shadetree gunk and a bunch of rotten wood in it, so a one day rebuild was in order.
The goal was a no-buck rebuild here is what we came up with. We replaced the transom wood and the front tm mount, pressure washed it for 2 hours added some snap together shop flooring and mounted up an extinguisher and dry box. Adjusted my trailer to fit it , and its ready to fish!

Man, those are some serious limber holes! :mrgreen:
And Thor called, he wants his hammer back!

Sorry to hear about the job, but what a sweet deal on the new fishin' rig!

Those holes are the perfect size for a pike or smallmouth to flop into! :evil: Its happened before.
Thats a homemade anchor that I used with my canoe. Love the Thor comment though! :D

Thanks everyone for the kind words about my job, I was there over 12 years. :cry:
