I'm assuming you have a clear title to this rig? If so, I think I'd first start at TPW to see what registration will cost. I left an old pontoon bowfishing boat sit unregistered for 3 years. They wanted me to pay all three years to re-register even though the rig hadn't moved. I took the motor and controls off and put on a flatbottom. The pontoon boat is still yard art! I wonder if it was because it was always yours. They'll do that on cars too,unless the title changes hands I believe.

No offense Amigo but by the time you buy tires, batteries, engine parts, hydrolic parts, re-wiring, fluids, accessories, etc etc etc etc etc you will have dropped a good chunk of coin. I would buy an old boat that's lake ready and spend the next 18 months fishing instead of working on that money pit. Just sayin  Difference is, I can spend $100-200 a month over the next 12 or 18 months and end up with a boat that is set up exactly like I want, and that I know how to work on. I can't afford to go spend $2500 on a boat today. It appears that I'll have the motor running for a few hundred dollars. Wiring will be easy to redo because I'm ripping out the entire interior anyways. At that point, I can go fish. Then I can continue to work on it after that point. I don't disagree that it will cost me just as much as buying a boat, but the ability to spread out the cost will be nice. And it will be my baby. Good point...
