Wow. What a surprise. Pretty rig. I bought it new from Stracks. Had it 13 years and 400+ hours. I might have some pictures of it new but perhaps not.

I have been looking for your contact information to let you know that we are bringing her back to life. She has been such a great boat and going to be around a long time to come. Really glad I saw your post on the Basscat website all those years ago.

Boy oh boy is she gonna be pretty when shes done!

Very nice work.

I got this picture from my dad today while I was stuck at work. Pad and Carpet is down on the nose. tomorrow if the rain holds off plan to add all the L.E.D. lights to all the compartments and put some of the small parts back on the boat.

Another quick update. Started putting the pad on the front deck lids. Little by little we keep checking things off the "to be done" list. Once the glue on the pads has a couple days to cure we'll put the carpet on everything.

Very nice work !

That will be so sweet when its done.... and if you never catch another fish, it will still be full of memories....great project to have with your son!

First two front lids with carpet and pad

Glad to see it coming together!

Looks nice.

Impressive work John and father!

I remember when you first got her - not a bad boat for its age at all, but I love to see those old kats restored, you will get a lot more years out of her.

We put the new rub rail on and added all new LED lights to all the compartments yesterday. Also have the deck lights on the boat as well. The blue tape on the rub rail is where the nav lights will be added this week. Took out a lot of the old wiring in the boat as well. We are on the final push now!!

Here are the seats in the boat. We had them done last year by Nina.

How much did it cost to get your seats done?
