Welcome to the Bahner Club!
thanks! any tips/tricks/pix you have would be greatly appreciated.
ever since i saw this one ive wanted one.
http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Ry2000lavey/Picture002.jpggot this one for $150 out the door.
its dirty, the floor needs to be replaced it had been sitting bow down for about a year. wouldnt matter anyways i wouldve replaced the floor regardless. full stringer, there isnt a single scratch or scrape on the thing. rubrail is in great shape, the bottom is spotless, the strakes have no chips and a kinda cool touch is the gel stripes and yellow extend underneath with a little pinstripe. the transom is rotten but thats not very hard to replace along with the floor. ill have my grandma make me a teak swimstep (she has a full woodshop and she makes AMAZING furniture, a swimstep would be cake for her). engine will be covered, but ill make the scoop stick out of the top facing backwards. 2 buckets with a bench across the back. and if time/money permits i might make it an open bow... but that might be on the list for next season. for now its floor, interior, motor, drive, boating. done!
ive heard horror stories about mr bahner... one thread said he was wanted by a tough crowd and he was found dead on the side of the road or something. before that was prison time, etc.
