Well after much thought about giving up and finding a better condition boat Ive decided to take this on as a project. Its my first boat and i intend to learn a lot. I payed about 500 bucks for it, with a tandem axle trailer, tore apart good condition bbc, and an American turbine converted 12yj with place diverter.

On my way home, dragged it all the way from Crecent city up to Portland, was kind of on the way home from a trip down there, enough so that i justified buying it 


about a year later, i dragged it out and started working on it, this was yesterday.















As you can see there is lots of rot, the stringers apear to be full length and so far i have removed all the way up to the start of the bow, havent dug into the front yet though.

removed the stringers, and did lots of grinding on the glass/resin to get it all smoothed out, still have alot to do, but hopefully i can get all the smoothing and prep done in about half a day, maybe next weekend or a couple evenings this week after work.




That is how she sits right now.

Maybe you guys are interested in some of my other projects

Always have motor swaps going on in the shop, normally little tuner motors with big turbos.
Excited to build a real displacement motor!
