Just picked up a solid hull for a killer price. (Thanks Ryan) My first project boat and I'm stoked. My gears are spinning........ everything is there but motor and pump.

I guess the "winger" bug is getting around. That color is going to look mean when it's done, good luck and keep the pics coming.

Thanx fellas. I know I'm doing my best with the resources I have to get in in the water by summer. I do still have the challenger, I want to sell it though....I'm in a toss up between selling, and taking the motor out for the new float?

Pull the motor and pump!

german1 · « **Reply #7 on:** March 14, 2011, 07:00:30 PM »

the pump is a jacuzzi and it's set up for a berk/dom.....so no go on that. thought about pulling motor and having some work done to it then dropping it in, but then i will be stuck with boat less motor. I don't know yet

german1 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 07, 2011, 05:09:23 PM »

slow progress

german1 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 08, 2011, 03:58:26 PM »

more progress. no paint today like i planned. the glittery blue under the paint is funky. bass boat style. tomorrow we are going to prep the bottom, and build some kind of cart to wheel it around on. transom is solid now reinforced from top of hull to bottom. gonna fill some holes where extra gauges and things were, then primer etc. she is coming along. any ideas on a paint scheme ?
