I bought an old (late 80's or early 90's) PolarKraft Modified V 1751 Jon boat a year ago, last October. I had planned to get it in the water a couple of times last fall and then spend the winter fixing it up. As soon as I bought the boat, the weather turned cold and I never got it into the water.
I wanted to strip everything off of the hull and re-paint. I managed to get the hull stripped but had to wait until warmer weather to paint so it sat all last winter with no progress. Finally, spring came and I was able to start my project.
This is what I bought. It was in good shape but a bit worn. Carpeted floors needed replacing. It had a couple of spray-can re-paint jobs that needed re-doing. Lots of hanging and frayed wiring all over the boat that I wanted to replace.
