So, three weeks and three days after starting the renovation, I have a before and after. Stripped it down to bare aluminum, fixed two small holes that were covered in paint, new finder, new trolling motor, all new paint, decking, flooring, lockable storage, all new (quality) wiring done. All the lights and safety stuff needed to keep me legal and alive done too. Lots more to list. Took it out to try it out today, worked out beautifully. I’m thrilled.

Looks awesome! You did a great job on that boat.
Very nice! Nothing like the satisfaction of fixing things up yourself. Time to get some fish slime in it!
Looks nice
You got a lot done in a short time! Looks great.
Already did, went out before those pictures were taken. Flung mud on the boat, broke a rivet on a light bracket running into a tree, got the first paint scratch, and caught 6 fish. I say we got the breaking in started!
Here’s some interior pictures. I want to redo the electrical connections inside the switch box, but that’s gonna be this winter or something. Hence the crappy temporary switch labels. The middle seat holds safety equipment, tools, and two group 31 AGM batteries to ensure I have enough juice for multi day trips, front deck has enough space for all my other gear plus some. It’s a mess right now, trying to get everything sorted before heading to the Arkansas for our first river trip.
Damn nice!!
